Managed AI application development
DigitalOcean introduced the platform at Deploy 25 in Austin on January 22, 2025. Its release explicitly states availability to all customers that day after a private preview, and same-day reporting corroborates the launch. [1][2]
The service connected foundation models to customer data, custom functions and deployment endpoints. It was a shipped application-development service; additional data-source support, fine-tuning and evaluation features were described separately as future work. [1]
