Native .NET Buildpack Support is Now Available on App Platform

DigitalOcean has introduced native .NET buildpack support on its App Platform, allowing developers to deploy .NET applications directly from a Git repository without the need for Dockerfiles. This new feature automates the detection of .NET projects, installs the appropriate SDK version, and builds applications for production, supporting C#, F#, and Visual Basic. The platform streamlines the deployment process with zero configuration by automatically managing SDK versions, configuring build settings, and recognizing ASP.NET Core web applications. It uses the Heroku .NET buildpack and supports .NET SDK versions 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0. Developers can deploy applications via the control panel, CLI, or API, and are encouraged to refer to the .NET Buildpack documentation for advanced configuration options.
