I want to love Digital Ocean but is there any talk about providing load balancers? It seems like as soon as you want to scale beyond one server you're stuck rolling your own with something like HA Proxy, but you've still got a single point of failure. I guess you have that with a hardware load balancer as well, but at least those things are specifically built to be available all of the time, versus just a piece of software you're running on yet another VM.

I'd also like to see a storage server - one with more storage than usual, without the necessary increase in cpu/memory/price.
Yeah I totally agree with you on that one, I don't really want to setup another server to have a load balancer. I would rather use a service like how AWS do it.
