New from the founders of Vine. RIP Vine. 🌱
This newsletter was brought to you byDigitalOceanNew from the founders of Vine. RIP Vine. 🌱
RIP Vine. Last week Twitter announced that the popular 6-second video app that loop indefinitely will be shutting down early next year. A sad day for the internet, but thankfully we have alternatives.
On the same day, the founders of Vine launched a new app! Hype is ridiculous, fun, and a totally new take on live video. Rus & Colin hit lightening in a bottle with Vine four years ago. Could Hype be the new thing that finally takes live video streaming mainstream? 🤔
P.S. Giphy built a tool that preserves all your Vines as GIFs in 1 click. 💕

DigitalOcean Deploy is a one-day event focused on what happens when AI hits production. Latency, throughput, cost per token, reliability — all the things that show up the second something hits production.
There will be a fireside chat with NVIDIA’s Kari Briski on agentic AI. Teams from Character, Workato, VAST Data, Arcee, and the vLLM ecosystem will be there breaking down how they are actually running inference at scale plus a first look at what DigitalOcean is building next.
April 28 in San Francisco. Free to attend.
