Deployment & DevOps

Deploys and manages web applications, APIs, and static sites on DigitalOcean's fully managed Platform-as-a-Service.

This skill empowers Claude to architect, configure, and deploy applications directly to the DigitalOcean App Platform. It provides domain-specific knowledge for creating complex App Specifications (YAML), including multi-service architectures with managed databases (PostgreSQL, Redis), background workers, and static frontends. By automating the boilerplate for doctl commands and instance sizing, it streamlines the transition from local development to production-ready cloud infrastructure with best practices for health checks and environment variable management.
