Summary

Today, Replit is launching Scheduled Deployments, a service that allows users to schedule their applications to run at predetermined time intervals seamlessly. This feature addresses the difficulty of configuring schedulers on Replit, enabling developers to focus on building without unnecessary overhead and costs. The new service has several cost levers, including per-second costs for running the machine, scheduler costs, and outbound data transfer charges. Developers can build a variety of applications with Scheduled Deployments, such as automated analytics reporting and system health checks, using a flexible credit system that comes with Replit Core membership. Future plans include adding configuration options and a robust email notification feature to enhance user experience.
