The way forward is Open

Open source software is freely available to use, lovingly made by people all over the world, and at the heart of DigitalOcean's business.

DigitalOcean: Powered by Open Source

In addition to open source powering many of our own libraries and frameworks, open source projects and the open source community embody values that we believe in and advocate for—innovation, collaboration, and optimism.

Why Open Source

Open source enables our business, and developers everywhere, to innovate and iterate quickly, which improves our products and helps our customers and community grow their big ideas more effectively.

Projects we use

DigitalOcean relies on open source technologies to do what we do. From our website that's built with Next.js to our core products, DigitalOcean proudly uses open source technologies like those below to run our business.

Projects we maintain

We contribute to open source projects and we create them. Some of our projects are aimed at improving the developer experience of using DigitalOcean. We also create useful projects for developers of all platforms, not just DigitalOcean.

Build & Grow

At DigitalOcean, we help open source projects thrive by participating in events and hosting our own, notably Hacktoberfest. We encourage everyone to contribute to the wider open source community.

Hacktoberfest

One of the most popular and well-attended annual global celebrations of open source. Every October, humans from a variety of expertise backgrounds and experience levels come together to help maintain open source projects.
