Rancher Desktop has been in development for just over a year with the open question: when do we have a 1.0.0 stable release? Along the way the scope has expanded, it was ported to run in more places and the development team has grown.

We are finally ready to answer that 1.0.0 question.
DigitalOcean, or DO, brands itself as the “developer cloud,” and it’s no secret that it has a strong mind-share among developers, especially because of factors such as simple UI, performance, structured documentation, a robust community ecosystem, and last but not least, the affordable pricing.
