App Platform

It would be great if we could use cloud firewalls to control access to deployed applications using App Platform. I've got some private applications that I would deploy using your PaaS offering immediately if I could firewall it off.

Open the Firewall management tool to allow for traffic moderation of the App Platform.

I would like to see an option to modify Cloudflare behaviour or completely disable it for App Platform, since Cloudflare sometimes acts like a man-in-the-middle and modifies the sourcecode sent by the app, which means you can't really be sure that the client gets what you send from the app.

I'm trying to serve Server-Sent Events (SSE) using Flask on the DO App Platform, but instead of streaming, something on DO's side seems to be caching the entire response and only returning it in one big chunk. I've been trying and trying to debug, and finally found this page which seems to indicate it's not possible? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-enable-http-response-streaming-in-the-app-platform So I have to migrate off the app platform now I guess? Or am I missing something?

When I create an app on App Platform, DO assigns it a random subdomain at “ ondigitalocean.app ”. I can then define a custom domain for this app too. It would be good be able to block access via the default domain. The use case is that we are using Cloudflare Zero Trust to protect an app, and this works fine except for the fact that the protection can be completely bypassed simply by using the default non-custom domain name.

Runtime logs in the UI is currently on a canvas. So we cannot copy long request IDs and such, which is useful for debugging. So it would be nice if we could just download the runtime logs with a click to search through them easily

As we are currently evaluating a switch from Slack to Discord, we don't want to miss out on the Digital Ocean deploy notifications and alerts from the app platform. Therefore, I wanted to inquire if there are any plans to provide webhooks for this feature in the future or if there are any other known workarounds that would allow us to integrate this into Discord?

FrankenPHP is an exciting modern PHP application server built on top of Caddy. It offers significant performance benefits over traditional setups by running PHP as a long-lived process and integrating directly with Caddy’s robust web server features. I’d love to see native support or official build templates for FrankenPHP + Caddy on App Platform. This would allow Laravel (and other PHP) developers to take full advantage of modern PHP hosting approaches without having to resort to custom VPS setups. Benefits: • Native HTTP/3 support via Caddy • Performance boosts via long-lived PHP processes • Modern deployment stack aligned with other modern languages • Great for Laravel, Symfony, and other modern PHP frameworks Please consider adding support or at least an official guide/template for using FrankenPHP with App Platform.

Now we can deploy a static site from the repository with a Dockerfile inside. But sometimes we have a mono repository with different services and a static website. To start the services, we build one Docker Image of that repository and run the /bin/sh -c "npm run start:**" command for each service. Next, it would be great to use this image for a static website that is already built inside. This feature will help to work with PNPM Workspaces and significantly reduce the time required to build and deploy applications.
