I did it because a new webapp deployment costs nothing, no extra work involved at all with DO, just add a snapshot and ssh key to a new droplet. If something needs to be consolidated, I just use DO api and paramiko to ssh into each droplet and run new commands. If it's updating the webapp across all customers, it's a matter of issuing restart command to all the droplets via API.

Aren't you paying for hosting on each droplet though? Consolidating would save you that money, but I guess this wouldn't have a huge impact if the income per customer is a lot larger than the cost of an additional droplet.
