This is another example of the company’s focus on ensuring developers and businesses can seamlessly launch, scale, and manage any size production application.
“The next generation of applications need high memory to be intensely high performance, predictive and provide an exceptional user experience,” said Yiftach Shoolman, Co-Founder and CTO of Redis Labs. “In-memory, data structure platforms such as Redis can then take advantage of the available DRAM to meet a diverse set of processing and analytical needs, with the simplest possible developer experience.”
“We are constantly evaluating the service options we provide our customers to ensure they are getting the most value from DigitalOcean,” said Julia Austin, CTO of DigitalOcean. “By offering High Memory Droplets, developers now have an optimal solution for larger, high-performance databases that demand aggressive memory caching for data file management. High Memory Droplets also allow for scaling up vertically versus horizontally.”
DigitalOcean is launching five new High Memory Droplets plans that start at $120 per month or $0.18 per hour and scale from 16GB to 224GB of RAM while maintaining an appropriate amount of local storage and CPU. The per-gigabyte cost of RAM is 25% less than DigitalOcean’s standard Droplet plans. High Memory Droplets are the first optimized Droplet type that DigitalOcean has released.
