Thoughts on Replit? (lemmy.zip)

So some backstory here: I’m pretty much anti-AI, but I try to stay on top of things so I can make informed recommendations to leadership. Recently , they’ve come to me interested in using Replit “because it’s so easy” and they almost have a site built out how they want.

Besides the fact that it’s managed to blow up and nuke production, what are some pros/cons about it? I’m worried about things like BCDR, vulnerability scanning, separation of duties, etc. You know all the base things you should have in place too.

Valid question, but leadership is technical enough to cause trouble and this is a smaller company that values fast right now.

I’m working within constraints for now before pushing cultural fixes.

I would still say that the solution depends on what they're trying to achieve, and what their priorities are. Maybe Replit is a good solution if they want something to create a quick proof of concept. Rather than commit to just one platform/solution, maybe it's worth doing a 1-3month trial on Replit to help uncover what some of the pros/cons are.
