What's Missing in Standard DigitalOcean App Platform Architecture
While DigitalOcean App Platform deploys reliably, successful deployments pass without driving user engagement or highlighting new features to active users.
Standard DigitalOcean App Platform Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
User has access to DigitalOcean App Platform features
Features available but usage not monitored
No activation prompts for unused features
Monitor DigitalOcean App Platform usage patterns and feature adoption
Identify users who haven't used key features
Trigger feature discovery emails with examples and use cases
Track feature adoption and send advanced usage guides

How Skene Fixes This
This Skene configuration watches DigitalOcean App Platform deployment events and automatically triggers announcement emails to engaged users, turning technical events into growth opportunities.
Implementation Comparison
Using Skene Infrastructure
Install via Prompt
@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the Post-Deploy Activation pattern for DigitalOcean App Platform.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
Generated skene.config.ts
