Excited to team up with Microsoft to bring Vibe Coding to the enterprise.
Now every team member—not just engineers—can turn ideas into software with Replit Agent, no code required.
We’re aligned with Microsoft on a shared mission: empowering every person and organization to create and achieve more.
At Replit, we've spent years building a secure, enterprise-ready platform that enables teams to collaborate, build, and ship production-grade software with confidence.
Partnering with Microsoft marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in that journey. A huge thanks to the incredible Microsoft team for their partnership: @satyanadella, @Deb_Cupp, @shalsgarg, Asha Sharma, Gustavo Blum, Mike Gaal and many others!
Onehouse dropped Quanton, a game changing query engine with massive performance & cost advantages. @byte_array @KyleJWeller @Onehousehq ... this is what disruption looks like.
🔥 Meet Quanton — the new query execution engine from Onehouse.
👍 Same Spark & SQL.
📉 At least half the cost.
📈 1.6x-3.6x better ETL price-performance
📊 2.2x-6.5x better Ingest price-performance

⬇️ Download our free Spark cost analyzer tool: onehouse.ai/spark-analysis-t…
⁉️ How? Quanton processes only what’s actually needed. Most engines only try to go fast. Quanton goes smart.
✔️ Drop-in replacement for Hudi + Spark jobs
✔️ Compatible with Iceberg, Delta, SQL, dbt
✔️ Benchmarked thoroughly against top cloud runtimes
✔️ No rewrites. No lock-in. Just plug in & save.
For Hudi users hitting support walls with your Spark provider or rising infra bills, it’s time to switch. We've got you even if you’re writing to Iceberg or Delta. Quanton boosts every open table format to its potential. Onehouse is now the most open, most cost-efficient platform for ETL.
Proudly built by a small, gritty team of Davids in a sea of Goliaths. Quanton is here. It’s open. It’s fast. It’s efficient.
We are actively building towards unlocking the next 30-80% efficiency gains by the end of the year.

AI is incredible at writing code.
But that's not enough to create software. You need to set up a dev environment, install packages, configure DB, and, if lucky, deploy.
It's time to automate all this.

It's surprising this product didn't exist until now.
Everything we do at work is real-time and collaborative... except coding.
Replit Teams is a real-time layer atop Git where branches are live; you can see what your coworkers are doing and branch in and out super fast.
Best thing about it is you don't even have to know Git to use it. Branches and merging will happen transparently. But if you do know Git it becomes a lot more powerful.
We're also exploring AI can impact software teams. It ships with an AI enriched with data from your team, including RAG, across your repos.
Teams is the perfect platform for experimenting with agents. We view agents as top-level users, just like humans. In the future, you will have many more artificial coworkers than real ones, and they will use the same primitives: branches, workspaces, and deployments.
