Built with JetBrains AI? Deploy it to DigitalOcean.
Step-by-step deployment help for JetBrains AI-built apps on DigitalOcean. We fix deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
JetBrains AI issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to JetBrains AI's code generation that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
Over-engineered enterprise patterns generated for simple startup use cases
JetBrains AI is trained on enterprise Java and Kotlin patterns, so it tends to generate verbose factory patterns, abstract base classes, and interface hierarchies for problems that could be solved with a simple function in a startup context.
Generated Spring Boot code includes unnecessary security exposure in default configurations
Spring Boot applications generated by JetBrains AI may include actuator endpoints, management ports, or H2 console access enabled in configurations that should be disabled or secured before production deployment.
Verbose boilerplate code increases bundle size and maintenance overhead
Java code generation in particular produces verbose getter/setter patterns, checked exception hierarchies, and XML configuration that modern Kotlin or Lombok-based approaches would handle with a fraction of the code.
Generated unit tests use JUnit 4 patterns in projects that have moved to JUnit 5
JetBrains AI sometimes generates JUnit 4 annotations (@Test from org.junit, @Before, @After) in projects configured for JUnit 5, causing compilation errors and requiring annotation migration.
DigitalOcean deployment issues we check for
Common DigitalOcean problems that break AI-generated apps in production.
App Platform buildpack fails to detect framework
AI-generated project structures with non-standard entry points or missing start scripts cause DigitalOcean's buildpack to fail during auto-detection.
Managed database connection pool exhaustion
AI tools create a new database connection per request instead of using a connection pool, exhausting DigitalOcean's managed database connection limits quickly.
Droplet firewall not configured
Freshly provisioned Droplets have all ports open by default. AI deployment scripts skip firewall configuration, exposing SSH, database, and admin ports publicly.
Spaces CDN CORS not configured
DigitalOcean Spaces requires explicit CORS headers for browser-based uploads. AI-generated frontend code fails silently when uploading files directly to Spaces.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deploy a JetBrains AI-built app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We regularly deploy JetBrains AI-generated projects to DigitalOcean. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on DigitalOcean.
What DigitalOcean issues do JetBrains AI projects typically have?
JetBrains AI projects commonly have over-engineered enterprise patterns generated for simple startup use cases and generated spring boot code includes unnecessary security exposure in default configurations. When deploying to DigitalOcean, these combine with platform-specific issues like app platform buildpack fails to detect framework and managed database connection pool exhaustion.
How do I get my JetBrains AI project live on DigitalOcean?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For JetBrains AI-built projects targeting DigitalOcean, the typical path is: fix JetBrains AI-specific code issues, configure DigitalOcean settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my JetBrains AI app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your JetBrains AI codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring DigitalOcean correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
