DigitalOcean: A Cloud in Troubled Skies

The company has, with some haste, begun to offer artificial intelligence tools. This is not innovation, precisely, but adaptation. The current fervor surrounding AI presents an obvious opportunity, and DigitalOcean is attempting to position itself as a provider of affordable access for smaller businesses. The claim is that demand is “through the roof,” and revenue has indeed doubled in the last five quarters. Such figures, however, must be viewed with a degree of skepticism. The entire sector is inflated, and a doubling of revenue from a small base is hardly conclusive proof of long-term viability.
