Built with ZenCoder? Deploy it to DigitalOcean.
Step-by-step deployment help for ZenCoder-built apps on DigitalOcean. We fix deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
ZenCoder issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to ZenCoder's code generation that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
Automated reviews miss context-specific security requirements
ZenCoder's automated code reviews apply generic security heuristics. They can miss security risks specific to your domain — healthcare data handling, financial regulations, or multi-tenant isolation requirements.
Generated implementations follow generic patterns, not project conventions
ZenCoder implements features using widely-used patterns from its training rather than the specific conventions, abstractions, and service layers established in your codebase.
Refactored code may break runtime behavior
Automated refactoring changes function signatures, variable names, and module boundaries. Without comprehensive test coverage, these changes can introduce regressions that aren't caught until production.
Review feedback applied without full context
When ZenCoder applies code review suggestions autonomously, it can address the feedback literally without considering the broader implications of the change on related modules.
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 ZenCoder-built app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We regularly deploy ZenCoder-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 ZenCoder projects typically have?
ZenCoder projects commonly have automated reviews miss context-specific security requirements and generated implementations follow generic patterns, not project conventions. 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 ZenCoder project live on DigitalOcean?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For ZenCoder-built projects targeting DigitalOcean, the typical path is: fix ZenCoder-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 ZenCoder app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your ZenCoder codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring DigitalOcean correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
