Abstract
In March 2021, DigitalOcean became a publicly traded company, following a decade of measured growth as a singular presence in the cloud computing space. Providing cloud services, storage, networking, platform and database solutions via service subscriptions, DigitalOcean had attracted a healthy clientele of developers, entrepreneurs and small- to medium-sized businesses. With the influx of capital from its initial public offering, DigitalOcean must determine the best strategic route, whether it is expanding its service offerings, aggressively pursuing additional customer markets, or supporting its existing and growing community.
