Details
Repl.it raised $4.5 million in a seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). At the same time, it surpassed 1 million users, and has deployed 250,000 websites and apps since launching its hosting platform this past March.
Repl.it's goal is to build a software development platform where users can develop, deploy, and acquire users for their apps all in one place, even with minimal experience. While cloud computing currently remains the domain of experts, Repl.it aims to serve as a microcomputer counterpart to the cloud mainframe.
Current technology development is focused on the following two core areas:
- IDE: Building an ultra-fast online IDE with under 2-second load times and code-intellisense
- Cloud infrastructure: Developing a fast and stable container orchestration system that provides remote development environments
Recently, the company has strengthened its platform competitiveness by launching custom domains with HTTPS support and repl.run, a feature that lets users deploy terminal apps as websites.
