Yeah, but Repl isn't a reliable host - they're down all the time.
If you ping the repl every 5 minutes, it doesnt go down. My discord bot has near 100% uptime for I think a year
*near 100% - which, for a platform like Riverbox, means that literally everything gets erased after a downtime
Yeah I think there has been 3 data purges now 
But using a proper database would prevent erasing
I use replit database (it’s builtin) and it works fine. Stopping the repl doesn’t erase anything
