DigitalOcean is chosen by small teams, where one person remembers everything until they do not. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere DigitalOcean accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where DigitalOcean has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.None. Droplet notes, tags and descriptions are typed.
A small team's infrastructure is understood by whoever set it up. There is no runbook because writing one takes an afternoon nobody has, and the knowledge leaves when they do.
In practice people use it for: Droplet and resource tags, project descriptions, support tickets, and the runbook for redeploying.
Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside DigitalOcean:
One install, one sign-in. Nothing else to configure.
Put the cursor in the field you are about to fill — DigitalOcean decides where the text lands, not Typally.
Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
Tag and note fields are short. Longer documentation belongs in a repository or wiki you also dictate into.
Typally types into the DigitalOcean panel and into whatever editor holds your runbook, from one hotkey. For a team with no dedicated ops person, the barrier to documentation has always been typing time, and that is the specific thing it removes.
A two-person startup records the rebuild procedure by talking through it once. Eight months later a bad migration takes an hour to recover from rather than a day of reconstruction.
Write the redeploy runbook by talking through what you would do if the droplet vanished. That is the document a small team most needs and least often has.
Tag and note fields are short. Longer documentation belongs in a repository or wiki you also dictate into.
No. Its control panel is typed.
How to rebuild from nothing. Everything else can be worked out; that cannot, under pressure.
Yes — detailed tickets get better first responses.
