We get it.
Offering free hosting and compute is extremely challenging, but there are many creators globally that are unable to pay for resources.
As a result, many Heroku users are moving over to Replit, and we're excited!
At Replit, we believe anyone should be able to create software, and we will continue to create pathways for users to host their projects without swiping a credit card.
Not only that, but we are taking it to new levels.
Today, we host 1M concurrent containers and serve 10b+/month in dynamic content from apps deployed on Replit.
At this scale, we are one of the largest compute providers in the world.
But we're only getting started.
In the coming months, we're going to radically change our hosting offering.
Earlier this year, we set super ambitious goals : 10x performance and reliability 3x the nines of availability Next, we're going to unlock: Full vertical scalability Arbitrary storage capability LLMs and Image generators In parallel, we are working on additional perfomance features and with best-in-class partners for powerful SDKs, APIs, & databases.
