DigitalOcean outage history and live incidents

Status: resolved Between 04:34 and 12:15 UTC, customers experienced service interruptions affecting App Platform deployment operations. During this window, customers may have been unable to deploy new applications or scale existing deployments. Applications already running prior to the incident were unaffected and continued to operate normally. The disruption was caused by a software update that prevented application containers from starting on newly provisioned infrastructure nodes. Our Engineering team rolled back the update and restored the affected nodes. App Platform deployment and scaling operations have recovered and are operating normally. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused. If you continue to experience any issues, please open a support ticket and our team will be happy to assist you.

Status: investigating Our Engineering team is investigating an issue causing intermittent external DNS lookup failures for Managed Kubernetes clusters in multiple regions. Applications running on affected clusters may intermittently fail to resolve external domain names. We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide further updates as more information becomes available.

Status: identified Our Engineering team identified a disruption affecting VPC Networking operations that began at approximately 08:48 UTC. During this time, customers may have experienced delays or failures when creating or deleting VPC peerings, VPC Native DOKS clusters, or Private Network Connections (PNCs), as well as when adding cluster members. Creating routes and subnets may also have been affected. Operations are now returning to normal, and our Engineering team is monitoring the affected systems to ensure continued stability. Existing VPC resources and network connectivity remain unaffected. We will provide another update as soon as more information becomes available.

Status: resolved From 11:59 UTC to 13:02 UTC on October 3, 2026, a networking disruption in our BLR1 region affected multiple products, including Monitoring, App Platform, Managed Databases, Functions, Load Balancers, Spaces, and the Cloud Control Panel. During this period, some users experienced degraded connectivity, increased latency, or intermittent errors when accessing resources in the region. Multiple network paths operated by our upstream connectivity providers were unavailable, including redundant paths intended to maintain connectivity during a disruption. Traffic shifted to a remaining link with insufficient capacity to handle the full load, resulting in network saturation and the connectivity issues described above. Our Engineering and Network teams worked closely with our upstream providers to restore normal routing and connectivity. All affected services have since returned to normal operation. We apologize for the disruption and its impact on your work. If you continue to experience unexpected behavior, please open a support ticket so our team can investigate and assist you.
