More Reliable Connections to Your Repls
Replit has introduced a new service called Eval to improve connection reliability for its users. Previously, Conman, the container manager, also handled reverse WebSocket proxying, leading to connection drops during updates and complex autoscaling logic. Eval separates these functions, acting solely as a reverse proxy between the user's client and the Conman VMs that host the Repls. This new architecture aims to abstract away infrastructure failures and simplify scaling. AI
