Deploy Your AI-Built App on Replit
Replit offers one-click deployments from its browser-based IDE. AI-generated apps on Replit face unique challenges with its container-based hosting, resource limits, and the transition from development to production mode.
Common Replit Deployments deployment issues
Real problems from AI-generated apps deployed to Replit Deployments.
Development server used in production
AI tools configure Replit to run the dev server (next dev, vite dev) in production instead of building and serving optimized output, wasting resources and exposing debug features.
Secrets exposed in .replit or replit.nix
API keys and database credentials end up in version-controlled configuration files instead of Replit's Secrets manager, visible to anyone who forks the project.
Reserved VM resources insufficient for workload
Replit's reserved VM allocations have fixed CPU and RAM limits. AI-generated apps with heavy processing or multiple services exceed these limits and get throttled.
Outbound networking blocked on free tier
Free Replit deployments restrict outbound network requests, breaking API calls to external services that AI-generated backends depend on.
.replit run command not optimized for deployment
The .replit file's run command uses development flags and doesn't set NODE_ENV=production, resulting in unminified bundles and verbose logging in production.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my Replit deployment so slow?
Most likely you're running a development server instead of a production build. Configure your .replit run command to build first (npm run build) and then serve the optimized output. Also ensure NODE_ENV is set to production to enable framework optimizations.
How do I secure secrets in a Replit deployment?
Use Replit's Secrets tab (not environment variables in .replit or replit.nix, which are version-controlled). Secrets are encrypted and only available at runtime. AI tools often put credentials directly in config files, which persist in the project's version history.
Can SpringCode optimize my Replit deployment?
Yes. We configure production builds, migrate secrets to the Secrets manager, optimize resource usage within Replit's limits, and ensure your AI-generated app runs in proper production mode with the right networking setup.
