Expand Storage of a Repl

Support Feature Requests

I would like to see more storage plans for replit in the future.

My current issue with my replit minecraft server. “https://gavmc.tk/”

I keep hitting the limit of storage on my world.

Hey, @ellogav welcome to the forums!

The Replit team has said that you will be able to by more storage with cycles in the future.

I just want to double check - is there currently no way to add storage to a repl?

Hey @BrotherDude welcome to the forums!

You are correct there is currently no way to add storage to a repl as of right now.

@not-ethan are there any expected timelines on this feature? I want to try full mobile development with replit really badly but 1GB is not enough to store intermediate rust compilation artefacts and it feels really stupid that I can get 16GB of ram but can’t get over 1GB of ssd. This doesn’t sound like a complex feature compared to other replit things so it makes me wonder why we’re still here

@not-ethan Is there a way to be part of this beta? I am doing Rust development and I super quickly reach the storage limit.

why do i not know about this?

Somebody else told me that was kind of a secret. I guess not.

Will infinity drive cost a lot of cycles or will it be cheap

What price do you think it should be?

Not sure, low enough so people won’t get mad at it like they did the egress limit

But this is storage, so it has to be a bit expensive. I’m thinking 1000 cycles

That’d be far too expensive, especially considering how unreliable the beta is

but it’s infinity storage, and also, I’m talking about this when it comes out of beta

firstly, it’s not infinity, it’s just 10 GiB per account as someone who read it as a beta tester. Also, remember that it’s basically like buying more egress so I’d say it’s more like 300 cycles at most

Oh, because of that, I agree with you but will slightly change the price, 400 cycles

How will Infinity Drive work? I have a workload that requires 300GB about 4 days of the month… I’m currently doing it with NVME drives attached to a GCP instance that I spin up when needed. When the machine is shut down all data on it is lost, so the results are dumped to “S3” when it’s successful.

  • Is 4MB sequential performance at least 500MB/s?
  • Are costs levied by day?
  • Are there different performance levels?
  • Can I get access to the beta? If not when is stable planned for?
  • Will the GCP extension give us easy GS access?
  • Are NVMe ephemeral drives coming?
