Replit`, a cloud-based platform, played a crucial role in the development of a convenience app by RHDEVS, a software development club at Raffles Hall of residence, National University of Singapore. The team had to build the app from scratch for over 700 students within a short timeframe, and Replit helped them with faster prototyping, ease of deployment, importing from GitHub, low costs, and active servers with minimal downtime. This allowed the team to focus on writing stable backend code, set up a contribution style guide, and launch the app successfully despite their inexperience with server development and deployment.
