App Platform supports bringing your own container image (BYOCI) that allows you to deploy pre-built container images from the DigitalOcean Container Registry on App Platform. We’re excited to extend this capability further through the integration of App Platform with Docker Hub. With this integration, you can deploy public container images directly from Docker Hub to App Platform in minutes. This means if your app is containerized and stored in Docker Hub, you could deploy it to App Platform! Check out this video to see this feature in action.
