The company announced a significant milestone: geo-distributing its infrastructure to improve Repl speed outside the US, addressing latency issues caused by the previous control/data plane separation. A new abstraction was introduced to build upon, separating the Control Plane from the Data Plane, allowing for a more consistent view of the infrastructure and enabling co-location with data storage in PostgreSQL. The company used the strangler fig pattern to gradually roll out the refactor, minimizing regressions and ensuring a smooth transition. After several weeks of enabling APIs one by one, the final major API was successfully migrated, resulting in a 66% reduction in .repl.co hosting latency and complete elimination of duplicate containers. The future plans include almost completely rewriting the system with new features and improvements, with the next stage expected to be completed by the fall of this year.
