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.


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.
