Runners
DigitalOcean App Job
Runner group kind backend_type=do_app_job — a DigitalOcean App Platform Job (beta)
backend_type: do_app_job. Connection: DigitalOcean. Status: beta.
Each execution is an App Platform Job component on an app you already have.
When to choose it
- Lightweight / cost-sensitive CI already on App Platform.
- You do not want to manage Droplets.
Choose DO Droplet for a VM per execution.
Connection
A DigitalOcean API-token connection (same connection model as Cloud connections; DigitalOcean is used primarily for runner capacity today).
Required config
| Key | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
app_id | string | App Platform app that hosts the job. |
job_name | string | Job component name. |
Execution control
Suffixed workflows: runner.execution-{stop,sync,logs-sync}-do-app-job. There is no restart. Stop the job and launch a new one.
Beta. Partial end-to-end coverage in the DigitalOcean runner library.
