Growing investments for product and infrastructure enhancements are expected to have been a tailwind for the company.
The introduction of Managed Kafka, premium general-purpose droplets, and scalable storage for databases are expected to have contributed well to revenue growth during the fourth quarter.
Digital Ocean's growing demand for AI-related services on the back of its recent integration of Paperspace's AI/ML capabilities is expected to have bolstered the company's revenue growth during the quarter under review.
The company's robust customer acquisition and graduation model, ensuring a steady increase in average monthly revenue per customer is expected to have boosted overall revenue growth.
