Replit Introduces Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) Options for Enterprise Isolation

Replit has introduced Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) to address enterprise security requirements, enabling teams to develop and host applications within their own cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or Amazon Web Services. This move aims to provide isolation and control while maintaining the familiar Replit user experience.

Three Deployment Tiers

The new offering includes three distinct options tailored to different levels of operational responsibility:

• Full BYOC: Deploys the entire Replit platform, including compute, storage, and the Agent harness, into the customer's cloud tenant. This ensures core company data never leaves the premises and eliminates network latency by colocating the agent harness with compute resources. It is currently in private preview.
• BYOC for Published Apps: Hosts only published projects in the customer's cloud while Replit manages the underlying platform. This option supports private endpoints, VPN access, and Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) for full physical isolation. It is available in early access.
• Image Exports: Provides a Docker image, Terraform file, and SBOM for teams to self-host Replit-built applications using their own infrastructure tools. This option is designed for highly customized environments where the app does not dial back to the Replit platform. It is also in early access.

Architecture and Security

Replit utilizes a cellular architecture that groups infrastructure into isolated units called cells. This allows organizations to run different workspaces in different environments—for example, a research team in a private cloud cell and another team in a Replit-managed environment.

For BYOC for Published Apps, secure tunnels with mTLS encryption connect Replit to customer infrastructure over private networking. This ensures that neither Replit nor the customer tenant shares data with untrusted recipients, and no publicly accessible ingress is required. Administrators retain full control over publishing destinations, while builders continue to use the standard "Publish" workflow.
