Key point
Replit has launched the **Always On** feature, which keeps apps running without interruption even after the browser tab is closed.
Details
Replit has announced the Always On feature, which allows code to keep running without interruption even after closing the browser tab. Previously, inactive repls would automatically go to sleep, but now an always-running environment is provided, enabling more stable hosting.
Hacker plan users can keep up to 5 repls always on, while Free plan users can use this feature via Cycles.
Always On can be utilized for a variety of purposes, including:
- Discord/Slack bots: hosting chatbots that require persistent connections
- Web servers: eliminating the wake-up delay that occurs on each access
- Cron jobs: tasks executed according to a set schedule
- Data scraping: workloads requiring long-running execution
However, repls may occasionally restart during server migrations, and changes saved to the file system are not preserved. Therefore, if data storage is needed, it is recommended to use Replit Database.
