DigitalOcean Quietly Ends Open Source Credits Program
DigitalOcean has discontinued its open source credits program, which provided free cloud infrastructure credits to open source projects. The change was made without a formal announcement, prompting criticism from developers who relied on the credits to host projects. Observers note the move reflects broader pressure on cloud providers to cut costs, and community members are debating its impact on smaller open source projects dependent on donated hosting.
Why now: Developers and open source maintainers are reacting to the loss of free hosting support they relied on.
