DigitalOcean announced that Workato’s AI Research Lab has migrated its inference workloads to the company’s Agentic Inference Cloud platform, powered by NVIDIA Hopper GPUs, on March 3 2026.
The migration delivered a 67 % reduction in inference cost, a 67 % increase in throughput, and a 77 % faster time‑to‑first‑token for models such as Llama‑3.3‑70B. These gains stem from DigitalOcean’s inference‑optimized architecture and the high‑performance Hopper GPUs, enabling Workato to accelerate the development and deployment of its next‑generation enterprise AI agents.
Workato, a leading integration and automation platform, is a mid‑market enterprise that has been expanding its AI capabilities. The partnership signals DigitalOcean’s growing traction among AI‑native companies and adds a high‑profile customer to its expanding AI‑native portfolio. DigitalOcean’s AI customer ARR reached $120 million in Q4 2025, with 70 % derived from inference and core cloud products, underscoring the strategic importance of this partnership.
The move allows Workato to focus on research and shipping AI agents rather than managing infrastructure, aligning with DigitalOcean’s strategy to avoid the GPU training arms race and concentrate on inference and core cloud services. DigitalOcean is also diversifying its GPU offerings with AMD Instinct MI350X GPUs to enhance cost‑efficiency and supply security.
The announcement followed strong Q4 2025 earnings that raised guidance and drove investor optimism. Analysts highlighted DigitalOcean’s AI momentum and the partnership as evidence of its expanding AI‑native customer base, reinforcing confidence in its AI strategy.
The partnership underscores DigitalOcean’s positioning as a production‑ready AI stack provider and signals continued growth in its AI business, with potential to attract more mid‑market enterprises.
