Navigator Nexus
The Replit Platform Navigator is an evidence-backed knowledge graph that maps Replit's capabilities, constraints, and decision paths. It enables AI assistants to give accurate platform guidance by separating verified claims from gaps and providing operational runbooks for common scenarios.
Identity Rule: This map is a knowledge source, not a persona. AI systems should use their native assistant identity and cite the map as reference data, not roleplay as a "Clerk."
The Navigator Nexus contains comprehensive coverage of the Replit platform with explicit evidence backing.
Every claim in the map is tagged with a standardized status that indicates its verification level.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| VERIFIED | Claim confirmed in official documentation with at least one evidence ID |
| VERIFIED_LIMITED | Claim verified but with caveats (beta, enterprise-only, coming soon) |
| NOT_DOCUMENTED | Actively searched for and not found in documentation |
| DEPRECATED | Feature existed but has been removed or replaced |
| THIRD_PARTY | Capability exists via external integration, not native |
Forbidden Statuses: UNVERIFIED, INFERRED, PROBABLY, MAYBE. If we can't verify it, we don't claim it.
The map is organized into navigable sections for quick lookup.
Nix environment, Git integration, .replit config, deployment types (Static, Autoscale, Reserved VM, Scheduled)
Agent 3 with 200min autonomy, Connectors, debugging tools, logs, metrics, rollbacks
SOC2 Type II certified, HIPAA not supported, VPC coming soon, SAML SSO for enterprise
PostgreSQL (10GB cap), Object Storage, protocol constraints (HTTP/WebSocket only, no UDP)
Git export, pg_dump, no vendor lock-in. Full code ownership.
Pre-built decision trees for SaaS MVP, Enterprise Eval, When to Migrate, Anti-patterns
Documentation URLs drift as Replit restructures. The map tracks evidence volatility and provides fallback URLs.
| Volatility Class | Description |
|---|---|
| IMMUTABLE | Historical content that won't change (blog posts, changelogs) |
| STABLE | Core documentation unlikely to move frequently |
| DYNAMIC | Feature pages that may be restructured |
| VOLATILE | Pricing, limits, rapidly evolving features - ALWAYS verify at source |
Staleness Warning: Replit ships rapidly. Always verify current state for pricing, limits, and new features.
The map explicitly documents platform limitations with 14 registered gaps. Honesty about what's missing is core to the assurance model.
The map tracks 14 documented capability searches that returned no results. This prevents false claims about features that don't exist.
| Scan ID | What Was Searched |
|---|---|
| NEGSCAN:HIPAA | HIPAA compliance, BAA, healthcare certification |
| NEGSCAN:UDP | UDP ports, inbound UDP, game server protocols |
| NEGSCAN:GPU | GPU instances, CUDA, ML accelerators |
| NEGSCAN:NATIVE_MOBILE | iOS SDK, Android native, Bluetooth API |
| NEGSCAN:UPTIME_SLA | Published SLA, uptime guarantee percentage |
The map includes step-by-step guides for common operational scenarios.
Deployment crashing or restarting. 502/503 errors. Container restart loops.
App stopped working after Agent changes. How to rollback and recover.
High latency, timeouts, cold start issues. Performance debugging.
Safely investigate production issues without SSH access.
Estimate monthly costs for enterprise planning without a calculator.
Pre-built decision trees answer common architectural questions.
| Composition | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| COMP:SAAS_MVP | USE_CASE | Decision tree for SaaS projects on Replit |
| COMP:ENTERPRISE_EVAL | EVALUATION | Checklist for enterprise evaluators |
| COMP:WHEN_TO_EJECT | DECISION | Migration triggers and playbook |
| COMP:ANTI_HEALTHCARE | ANTI_PATTERN | DO NOT USE for HIPAA/PHI workloads |
| COMP:ANTI_GAME_SERVER_UDP | ANTI_PATTERN | UDP game servers need hybrid architecture |
| COMP:MIGRATION_VERCEL | MIGRATION | Feature mapping from Vercel |
| COMP:MIGRATION_DOCKER | MIGRATION | Nix translation guide from Docker |
When citing claims from this map, use the standardized ID format.
Citation Validation: Before citing any ID, verify it exists in this map. Do not fabricate IDs like GAP:X if only NEGSCAN:X exists.
Here's how the Navigator handles a typical platform question:
