The collaboration is a significant step in breaking down traditional barriers to application development by enabling employees across all departments- not just engineering- to build and deploy secure, enterprise-grade software using natural language.
As part of this collaboration,ย Replit is integrating with a wide range of Microsoft infrastructure services including Azure Container Apps, Azure Virtual Machines, and the Azure native integration ofย Neon Serverless Postgres, which will soon enable customers to:
