From the recent article related to DO's $37.2M funding [1]

“Flywheel built an entire WordPress hosting service on top of our cloud,” Uretsky said. “They are running over a thousand droplets for their users. The integration is so tight that customers can’t tell that we’re running the service.”

Another example, Beyoncé launched her new album in December. It turns out that Beyonce.com runs on DigitalOcean. The servers handled the album launch without breaking a sweat.

“We’ve seen 15 million visitors within the first 24 hours. She’s been pretty happy with the service,” Uretsky said.
