Replit separates control and data planes for global infrastructure

Replit has successfully implemented a control plane to manage its infrastructure, separating it from the data plane that handles user requests. This architectural change aims to improve the speed and reliability of hosting user projects, particularly for those located outside the United States. The previous global routing attempt failed due to limitations in load balancer control, leading to unintended latency increases, prompting the development of this new control plane. AI
