Optimize Replit costs through tier selection, sampling, and usage monitoring. Use when analyzing Replit billing, reducing API costs, or implementing usage monitoring and budget alerts. Trigger with phrases like "replit cost", "replit billing", "reduce replit costs", "replit pricing", "replit expensive", "replit budget".
Optimizes Replit costs through tier selection, usage monitoring, and budget alert strategies.

Optimize Replit costs through smart tier selection, sampling, and usage monitoring.
| Tier | Monthly Cost | Included | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1,000 requests | N/A |
| Pro | $99 | 100,000 requests | $0.001/request |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | Volume discounts |

// Use batch endpoint (1 call)
await replitClient.batchGet(ids);

});
# Set up billing alerts in Replit dashboard
# Or use API if available:
# Check Replit documentation for billing APIs
-- If tracking usage in your database
SELECT

COUNT(*) as requests,
SUM(response_bytes) as bytes,
COUNT(*) * 0.001 as estimated_cost
FROM replit_api_logs
WHERE created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;
Review Replit dashboard for usage patterns and costs.
Use the cost estimation function to find the right tier.
Add usage tracking to catch budget overruns early.
Enable batching, caching, and sampling where appropriate.
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unexpected charges | Untracked usage | Implement monitoring |
| Overage fees | Wrong tier | Upgrade tier |
| Budget exceeded | No alerts | Set up alerts |
| Inefficient usage | No batching | Enable batch requests |
// Estimate monthly cost for your usage
const estimate = estimateReplitCost(yourMonthlyRequests);
console.log(`Tier: ${estimate.tier}, Cost: $${estimate.estimatedCost}`);
if (estimate.recommendation) {
console.log(`💡 ${estimate.recommendation}`);
}

Expert guidance for Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR). **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Use this skill automatically when working in Next.js projects that have `cacheComponents: true` in their next.config.ts/next.config.js. When this config is detected, proactively apply Cache Components patterns and best practices to all React Server Component implementations. **DETECTION**: At the start of a session in a Next.js project, check for `cacheComponents: true` in next.config. If enabled, this skill's patterns should guide all component authoring, data fetching, and caching decisions. **USE CASES**: Implementing 'use cache' directive, configuring cache lifetimes with cacheLife(), tagging cached data with cacheTag(), invalidating caches with updateTag()/revalidateTag(), optimizing static vs dynamic content boundaries, debugging cache issues, and reviewing Cache Component implementations.
