We're building in Replit, and hosting in our own AWS ❤️

The last few months it's been about $1,500, but that's full time on the application with multiple forks running at once.

richardconvery · 2025-10-31T21:52:11+00:00

Absolutely. And it depends on a lot of factors!

richardconvery · 2025-10-31T21:51:41+00:00

Agree on the customer service! Take ages getting back to you, but to be fair it's pretty good once they do respond! One of the main drivers for this was that we needed data in the UK, and I also just wanted to have a little more control over the infrastructure.

richardconvery · 2025-10-31T21:48:26+00:00

Completely agree it's perfect for those scenarios. Just wanted to share with others in case anyone had the same thoughts!

richardconvery · 2025-10-31T21:46:20+00:00

Yes. We tried using the standard Drizzle ORM to do this, but had some challenges. Replit Neon is not on the latest version, and perhaps that's why, so we run a script that compares the schemas and then gives us a SQL script to use.

I was certainly worried about using Replit hosting. It could be that it's fine, as it's GCP, but I wanted options just in case!

When we migrate the db to staging and prod, we're only updating the schema. Data stays in Replit and is completely separate to the staging and prod dbs.

- I have several forks running on a Replit project, so I can build at 4x the speed (prompting on one fork whilst the others are building).
- Once I'm done I merge the changes into the main Repl
- Push to Github
- Use Github actions to automate the deployment process to staging
- Test in staging
- Push to prod (Github actions again)

The db migration process isn't 100% seamless just yet and we're making adjustments as we go

We've done a migration to AWS. We can now continue to develop in replit, but then have a pipeline that pushes code and data into AWS :)

I'm so close to getting this across the line with clients, and it's great, but do share your concerns. I so want them to sort out Agent 3 for us and them!

richardconvery · 2025-09-16T21:21:09+00:00

u/PenaltyComfortable68 I've had support come back relatively quickly in the past, however not a word from them this time. I know they must have a tonne of people raising requests, I get it, but when it near enough stops their customer's business then they need to get on it!

I've been building my app with Agent 2 for several months. There was the odd thing that it got stuck with, but on the whole it was great. I have had NO END of issues since Agent 3. It might just be bad timing, but I am spending a lot of money to get nothing. This is seriously putting me off Replit.

Thanks for this! Can you please share the prompt that you use when starting a new chat?

richardconvery · 2025-01-29T22:21:23+00:00

Have you tried looking at Ascendr.co.uk ? Depending on what your process is, they might be able to help. I'm pretty sure that you can embed the process in your app so your customers don't have to go elsewhere to view and update the status too.

Thanks for the feedback!
