Digital ocean doesn't charge traffic costs. I'm not sure if that was used in the article, but DO can provide significant savings for high-bandwidth services.

You now get the first TB for free per droplet. So if you have 5 droplets thats 5 free TBs outbound per month. Inbound is always free.

They're also part of the bandwidth alliance, unlike AWS.

Digitalocean is not a member of the bandwidth alliance
