I would avoid Digital Ocean and actually use Vultr. Digital Ocean's support for some things is really bad. We started a new project and made a whole new DO Account. Said project required 6 Object Storage buckets. Well... DO has an invisible limit at like 2 or 3 Object Storage buckets?
There's no way to bypass it. I contacted Support, Sales, etc. All told me there's no way around it. Well, surprise surprise, when you sign up for their managed Kubernetes. It actually removes some limits on your account, one of which is the Object Storage limits.
There's also no error with Object Storage that tells you that you've hit the limit. The Web UI just goes HTTP Error, with no feedback to the user. I had to contact support to understand why.
Vultr; I've NEVER had a problem like this with them. Ever. If I was a startup, or a company, I'd want to be able to phone the company providing me vital services and be like "Hey, we're a real entity. We're paying you, please remove these fraud limits" or support, or help, etc. Then get a real answer. I have NO confidence DO can provide that now.
What? Do has no limits on buckets as you describe that I'm aware of. We have literally dozens of buckets
