Replit announced a partnership with Microsoft to offer its platform through Azure Marketplace, integrating with Microsoft cloud services like containers and databases.
Replit and Microsoft are targeting non-programmers and business managers to create apps easily, positioning the collaboration as a prototyping tool.
This partnership does not exclude Replit from using Google Cloud, but it expands its support for Microsoft customers, posing a challenge for Google Cloud as Replit apps are often hosted on its platform.
Replit has experienced significant growth, with its CEO stating a revenue increase from $10 million to $100 million in a span of six months, attracting over 500,000 business users.
