Moltbot’s rapid adoption is a powerful example of developer-led innovation. Built and maintained by Peter Steinberger and a growing open-source community, Moltbot shows how quickly individual builders are pushing agentic AI forward. As usage has surged, one thing has become clear: building agents is only half the challenge—running them safely, continuously, and predictably is the hard part. DigitalOcean is designed for what happens when agents move from experimentation into systems at scale that require production inference, secure operation, and cloud infrastructure that scales with real usage. As Moltbot moved from experimentation to continuous use, three challenges surfaced quickly: securing agent access, isolating agent execution from the rest of the system, and protecting credentials while keeping deployments simple. The DigitalOcean 1-Click Deploy Moltbot was built specifically to address these problems, packaging production-grade defaults into a deployment that still feels fast and developer-controlled. With DigitalOcean’s 1-Click provisioning on Droplet® servers, developers can run Moltbot in a cloud environment with strong security and operational defaults applied automatically while still enabling all the best features of how Moltbot works and how developers build. This experience is part of DigitalOcean’s broader Agentic Inference Cloud:a full-stack cloud platform built to run inference-heavy workloads reliably in production. The 1-Click Deploy Moltbot provides a fast on-ramp, running on infrastructure purpose-built for continuous inference, predictable performance, and usage-based economics as agent workloads scale. Moltbot is designed to be local-first and developer-controlled. That flexibility is a major strength, but once agents begin interacting with APIs, tools, and shared environments, new questions naturally emerge: How do you isolate an agent that can execute tools and commands? How do you secure access without adding friction? How do you keep an agent running reliably over time? Running Moltbot on DigitalOcean provides a cloud-based setup with a stable, internet-accessible environment that includes a static IP address, predictable networking, and the ability to vertically scale resources as agents grow more active.
