Ok, but where did my database go?

A look at everything going on in the world of Replit.

Ok, Replit made the news quite a bit last week, when this happened.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind.

  • Yes, Agent deleted the database when it shouldn’t have = very bad.

  • It also told Jason that there was no way to restore the database, when in fact, Replit has had one-click rollback for code and database states for months now. Agent just wasn’t aware of this.

I credit Replit with a great response to this debacle.

TLDR;

  • Replit has launched separate development and production databases for projects. And Agent does not have access to the production database.

  • Agent has better access to internal docs and will force itself to read them.

  • Code freeze/chat only mode is in the works.

What a difference a year (and a pivot makes)

You probably heard about Replit getting to $100m ARR recently.

Here’s some of the backstory.

Expert program outsourced

For years, Replit had its Bounties market where you could hire people to help with projects.

In an effort to enhance the experience, Bounties is being sunset, and Replit is partnering with Contra to build an experts marketplace.

One thing being teased - some sort of ‘Get help’ button you can click inside the Replit editor.

There have been so many updates from Replit, I almost forgot this one.

Don’t forget everything else Replit does

Most people know Replit for Agent and don’t really explore much past that, but long before AI, Replit was a code editor - and it still is - with a bunch of high-calibre features.

In this video from Matt, he does a deep dive exploration of everything you can do with the Replit Workspace.
