Architecture

DigitalOcean reference architecture

A small managed footprint: public entry is narrowed to a load balancer, application droplets stay on a private VPC and backups leave the provider.

  1. 01 · Edge

    Public DNSLoad balancerCloud firewall

    Only 80/443 is public; administrative access arrives over a bastion or VPN.

  2. 02 · Compute

    Application dropletsVPC private networkFloating IP

    Droplets sized from measured load, placed in one region with a documented failover plan.

  3. 03 · Data

    Managed databaseBlock storageObject storage

    Database access is limited to the VPC; storage volumes are separated from the OS disk.

  4. 04 · Protection

    SnapshotsOff-provider copyRestore test

    A copy is held outside DigitalOcean so a provider-side account issue is not a total loss.

FAQ

DigitalOcean questions we are asked

Are droplet snapshots a backup?
Not on their own. They live in the same account as the workload, so a copy is also written to a second provider or on-premises target and restore-tested.
When is DigitalOcean the wrong fit?
When you need enterprise networking, compliance attestations or region breadth that only the large hyperscalers publish. For a handful of application servers it is usually cheaper and simpler.
Can you migrate an existing VPS in?
Yes — the environment is inventoried, rebuilt from configuration, tested in parallel, then cut over in a scheduled window with rollback ready.
