Today DigitalOcean App Platform entered general availability and they offer support for PHP/Laravel apps out of the box. Read on for a deep dive and explore the pros and cons of DigitalOcean's new app platform with me.

It actually uses heroku buildbacks under the hood, making it super easy to get an app running with no or minimal configuration (or, so they say).

For this app, it took about 10 minutes to provision the app containers and the database.

I hope you enjoyed this post and helped you to evaluate the App Platform for your projects.
