so should i buy cycles with my mum’s credit card and then use the deploy or do i just buy the deploy? like is it charged hourly or like per week or what?

No need to put an extra step in there. Of course, cycles are more versatile than directly buying a deployment. It depends on your situation.

Hacker & Pro both come with autoscale & static deployments!

It charges 20-660 cycles per day for Autoscale
It still charges for both with my free Hacker, though? Was this not supposed to happen? Can I get my 60 cycles back?

This is a good idea, I don’t understand why people dislike it so much

Previously Replit had announced a commitment to enabling free users to continue hosting websites and keeping them up with pinging services. Has this been deprecated entirely? With the changes to the repl.co domains, it seems like free users are completely out of options to ship even a hobby app. It’s a bit disappointing that you can’t even have a repl.co domain which goes to sleep—hosting feels very all-or-nothing now. Previously Replit was my #1 recommendation for anyone who wanted to try building a web app but this change eats away at that.

Change is hard in many ways, including emotionally and financially, but life will go on in the end.

Does the static work with the j a m stack?

Wow! I’m really excited that I get to use my cycles for paid plans now! You are clearly very hard-working people with the needs and desires of the community in mind. I am so glad to be a part of this community!

I remember that deployments used to not support persistent filesystems, did that change? Being able to keep state even after reboots is important for lots of projects. So is saving egress, so storing data on a remote server isn’t an option.

Deployments still do not have persistent filesystems.

Hey Lucas, I understand where you’re coming from.
As a reminder, autoscale deployments will end up costing less than 20 cents per month for most sites, and static is free if you’re within your egress limit.

Since most firewalled replit users have no money or are using Replit at school, is it safe to say that firewalled replit is obsolete?

Not yet. We’re working on a solution here! No promises but this is top of mind for our team.

That’s a lot more expensive than what Replit has promised its users over the years, but we understand that times change and things end up different. It’ll be nice to see replit adapt and grow over the next few months.

Autoscale & static deployments do not use Cycles. Only Reserved VMs are cycles based as of now. If you shoot me an email (soren@replit.com) we can take a closer look.

Do we have to pay for more if we run out of egress? Also, since custom 404 pages can’t work on static sites, are custom 404 pages now a premium service?

I think they come free! How nice of Replit isn’t it?
