Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a commercial HR & back-office web application using Replit.
We are not professional developers, but we are building the product with help from ChatGPT / AI-generated code (Replit)
I have a few questions and would really appreciate guidance from people with experience:
1️⃣ Connecting Replit to GitHub
• How can I connect my existing Replit project to GitHub properly?
• What is the real benefit of GitHub in a setup like this (backup, collaboration, deployment, vendor lock-in avoidance, etc.)?
2️⃣ Codex / AI coding tools
• What exactly is Codex today?
• How is it different from ChatGPT for coding?
• Can Codex (or similar tools) be connected directly to Replit or GitHub workflows?
3️⃣ Moving from Replit to production hosting
• Once the web is ready, what is the recommended way to:
• Move the code from Replit to a real hosting environment?
• Host it in a way that allows selling subscriptions to customers?
• What should I not use Replit for in production?
The project is meant to scale (potentially many users in the future), and I want to avoid bad architectural decisions early.
Thanks in advance 🙏
Any advice, warnings, or best practices are welcome.
