Built with Same.dev? Deploy it to DigitalOcean.
Step-by-step deployment help for Same.dev-built apps on DigitalOcean. We fix deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Same.dev issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Same.dev's code generation that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
Cloned design may violate original site's copyright
Same.dev reproduces visual layouts, color schemes, and component structures from existing sites. Using a competitor's or commercial site's design as your starting point can constitute copyright infringement or unfair competition.
No backend or API layer generated
Same.dev clones frontend presentation only. Navigation links, forms, and interactive elements exist in the UI but have no server, database, or API behind them — everything requires backend implementation from scratch.
Scraped content and assets need full replacement
Generated codebases contain the original site's text, images, and media as placeholder content. Shipping with scraped third-party assets is a licensing violation and a branding problem.
Broken interactions from missing state management
Dropdowns, modals, carousels, and tabs are rendered structurally but wired to no logic. Interactive elements appear functional in the UI but do nothing on click.
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 Same.dev-built app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We regularly deploy Same.dev-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 Same.dev projects typically have?
Same.dev projects commonly have cloned design may violate original site's copyright and no backend or api layer generated. 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 Same.dev project live on DigitalOcean?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Same.dev-built projects targeting DigitalOcean, the typical path is: fix Same.dev-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 Same.dev app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Same.dev codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring DigitalOcean correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
