We're excited to launch this new part of our site. First, we have a place to share with you all the exciting features we're building (things that don't fit in a [140 characters](https://twitter.com/replit) and a GIF). You can also look forward to posts sharing what we learn in engineering and design.

Second, we're putting all the informational pages for our product and company here. This way you don't have to download tons of JavaScript that is intended for the development environment when all you want to do is read words. That'll also make it easier for Google to index our stuff.

For now, you can check out our new [about us page](/content/site/about/index.html), sign up for our [classroom product beta](/content/site/classrooms/index.html), or checkout our new languages [landing pages](/content/languages/java/index.html).

**Sep 10, 2026 Replit | Databricks Integration is Now Generally Available with Native Lakebase Support**  
  
The Replit | Databricks integration gives enterprise teams a faster path to utilizing governed data for production-ready applications. Today, we’re excited to announce the integration is generally available alongside a new capability: native Databricks Lakebase support. This builds on the foundation introduced from our public preview announcement this past June.  
  
The result is one seamless path from idea to production: Replit accelerates application creation, while Databricks hosts and provides governed access and security to live enterprise data. Through Lakebase, Databricks also delivers a managed database for storing and updating application data.  
  
With native Lakebase support, teams can build full-stack, context-rich apps that combine live Databricks warehouse data with information created and updated through the app. When an app built with Replit is ready to deploy, Replit Agent automatically provisions its Lakebase database, eliminating the need for manual setup.  
  
**New Capabilities for a Faster, Safer Launch**  
  
Automated Preview Deploys: Test your apps before they go live. Replit automatically creates a separate preview environment that keeps test data isolated from live business data in Databricks, giving teams a safe place to build, review changes, and make adjustments.
