Replit published a guide explaining how to use its platform as a secure compute backend for specialized applications, such as building tools that generate and execute code. The post walks through creating a Nix-based compute node that can run arbitrary code via an API, using Koa.js and Python, and emphasizes the ability to install any package from the Nix registry.

Verbatim from https://replit.com/blog/replit-compute:

> Replit has many use cases and features, but one that's less talked about is its ability to serve as a secure compute environment for specialized apps.
