At Replit, we operate a cloud-based infrastructure that allows developers to collaborate and create within an all-in-one, integrated development environment. One of the most significant parts of this experience is the latency perceived by the developer when interacting with the workspace. While we can always add resources such as CPU, RAM, and storage on demand, when tackling latency we have to deal with some fundamental physical limits such as the speed of light. This means that you can only...| Replit Blog
The new Console has been launched for a while, bringing a whole new UI, persisted history of executions, metadata about the runs, and more! Let’s take a tour of where it came from, how it works, and how it was built. Brief history In the past, the Console looked very similar to the Shell and, depending on the Repl configuration, sometimes behaved like one: ...and sometimes did not:| Replit Blog
For every human endeavor, there inevitably arrives a moment when an innovation profoundly elevates the potential for productivity. For instance, communication was revolutionized by the invention of the printing press, and later, the Internet. After decades of steady progress, software is witnessing its disruption phase as well -- AI is redefining the whole software development lifecycle. AI is one of the key ingredients to go from idea to software, fast -- we witnessed this from over a year o...| Replit Blog
Package management on Replit just got an upgrade. We’re releasing new features that make it faster to load, simpler to manage, and easier to troubleshoot packages for your projects. Read on to learn about the new additions or try it out now on Replit! Why we built the Packages tool Software projects already demand enough from developers implementing features, leaving those same developers little time to build everything from scratch. Pulling in code from other organizations or individuals c...| Replit Blog
We’ve recently improved Ghostwriter’s inline actions, Explain Code, Generate Code, and Edit Code (formerly known as Transform Code), to make your coding sessions even more efficient. Here’s a summary of the key updates. Widgets: say goodbye to popovers! Previously, Ghostwriter used popovers to generate, explain, and edit code. While this served us well initially, it sometimes disrupted the flow of coding, and the popovers could be lost when you clicked outside of or moved around the cod...| Replit Blog
Stay connected A few months ago, we shared that we upgraded some of the virtual machines (VMs) that back Repls. This meant that Hacker, Pro, and Teams users were 10x less likely to have to reconnect and lose the running state of their program because the backing container restarted. We know that the reconnect can be painful and interrupt your state of flow.| Replit Blog
Repls today allow 256+ GiB of storage space, up from a historical 1GiB limit. This post is about the infrastructure that enabled that change. Historically Replit limited files in each Repl to 1 GiB of storage space. The 1 GiB limit was enough for small projects, but with the advent of AI model development and with some projects needing gigabytes worth of dependencies to be installed, 1 GiB is not enough. We announced on Developer Day that we were rolling out the infrastructure to unlock much ...| Replit Blog
Finding that one comment, class, or function in your codebase is important. You might not always know where to look... which is why we created a brand new Code Search tool! From simple queries to regular expressions it has never been easier to get work done on Replit. The new Code Search tool supports queries with word filters, regular expressions, include patterns, exclude patterns, as well as replacements (with regular expression capture group support) so that you can find what you need and...| Replit Blog

Last week we announced the Pro plan to speed up your development with Replit's AI tools and an even more powerful Workspace. Today we're expanding all of our paid plans to add the ability to use SSH to remotely access your Repls. How do I get started? If you're subscribed to a paid plan, you'll notice a new "SSH" entry in the Tools section of the Workspace. You can add your SSH keys and start working with your Repl remotely!| Replit Blog
Today, we celebrate 20 million developers on Replit. They've created 240M+ Repls, ranging from multiplayer games to production software with the power of real-time collaboration in the cloud and state-of-the-art AI tools. Developers build their businesses on Replit too, from indie hackers to YC-backed startups like Fig, AmpleMarket, and BerriAI to unicorns like Deel. The Replit Story In 2010, I was a young hacker in Amman, Jordan. I didn't have my own computer, but coding was my life. I’d g...| Replit Blog
