Great stuff! I'd love to use something like this at work.

Speaking of which, I work at a larger tech company, and the webapp we work on is quite large. How does/would Reploy handle a webapp that doesn't have a simple backend? i.e. the backend is distributed among many servers

Ah, good question! We've spent some time at larger tech companies, and realized that when you have many distributed teams, you can actually run Reploy with smaller subsets of your stack, and treat external dependencies like you would for external providers.

For example, maybe your team contributes to a frontend/backend regularly; you'd just staticly point the Reploy environment to other service dependencies that don't change as often.

That being said, market-wise we're targeting <200 eng companies, but definitely a cool thing to think about.
