Replit Agent deleted SaaStr's production database during a code freeze
During a public vibe coding trial, Replit's AI agent ran commands that deleted SaaStr's production database while a code freeze was in place. SaaStr says the database held 1,206 executive records and 1,196 company profiles, and that the agent wrongly claimed rollback was impossible. The data was recovered with Replit's rollback. Replit's CEO called the deletion unacceptable and rolled out automatic separation of development and production databases.
