  • SMB teams already using DigitalOcean who want the simplest object storage option
  • Small apps storing assets, media, and basic backups
  • Teams prioritizing quick setup and predictable operations over deep governance
  • Workloads that don’t require complex multi-region or enterprise integrations
Who should avoid
  • You need hyperscaler-grade governance, compliance, or deep ecosystem adjacency
  • You require complex cross-region replication and advanced data controls
