I’ve used DO for around 8 years and have had mostly great service & experience with them. At the time of switching, we cut our hosting fees from around $1k to under $300. Now we are running on their hosted kubernetes service and it’s working great. They simplify a lot of things and the pricing is pretty straight forward.

I use DO for my personal projects - they've got a perfectly fine API, costs are low, everything works like it says on the tin, most tools work well with DO (terraform, ansible) and they have an interesting documentation culture with lots of tutorials.

I was quite impressed with the migration approach, lead-time on notification of migration and self-service on-your-own-time migration options when being shifted to new servers (which required a cold-migration).
