DigitalOcean released a pre-earnings update for Q2 2026, highlighting accelerating customer momentum in AI workloads. The company expects revenue to grow 29% year-over-year, up from 14% in Q2 2025. Remaining performance obligations (RPO) are projected to exceed $800 million, more than 10 times the prior-year quarter, with weighted average contract life extending to over 3 years from 1.6 years. Multiple nine-figure annual customer commitments were signed during the quarter for inference and cloud products. DigitalOcean also secured 20 MW of incremental data center capacity for late 2027 and early 2028, bringing total committed capacity to approximately 155 MW. The company expects to be at or above the high end of previously provided guidance for adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP EPS, and projects improved full-year 2026 exit growth rates reflecting sustained AI demand.

Droplets are DigitalOcean's core Linux-based virtual machines, provisioned in seconds with predictable flat-rate pricing across CPU, memory, and storage tiers. Developers use them to host websites, run application backends, and stand up databases without the configuration overhead of hyperscaler consoles. They sit at the center of DigitalOcean's broader managed ecosystem, which spans managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Kubernetes clusters, object storage (Spaces), load balancers, and the App Platform PaaS, making them the default building block for startups and small teams.
Paperspace, acquired by DigitalOcean in 2023, provides on-demand GPU compute for machine learning, model training, and AI inference. It offers cloud workstations and the Gradient notebook environment alongside raw GPU virtual machines using NVIDIA accelerators, billed by usage. The product extends DigitalOcean's simplicity-first approach to AI workloads, giving developers and small teams access to GPU capacity without enterprise contracts or the operational complexity of standing up their own accelerated infrastructure.
