Difference between Web App and Background Task with Reserved VM?

Replit Help

Hello,
I’m still in the process of studying all Deployment possibilities and what would be the best for my projects.

I have seen some limits of the Autoscale deployments and I’m now studying the Reserved VM.

When we create a Reserved VM, there is a choice between Web App and Background Task.
As the Reserved VM is a dedicated server with fixed vCpu and vRAM and that should stay always on, what are the differences between these choices ?

What are the configuration differences when we choose one or the other ? I have chosen Web App for my web app but i’m happy to have background processes that work perfectly on this VM (while they were not working correctly on autoscaler)

If I make a Web App with background processes, should I choose Background version ?
Thanks

Fvillemin,

Thank you for your question. I did some research and found the answer. The web app runs a check before Deploying that asserts that the program opens up a port, and Background Worker doesn’t. I did notice this isn’t clear in our documentation and will have updated.
