Automattic Launches Spacefast Platform for Vibe-Coded App Deployment
Automattic, the parent company of WordPress.com, has officially launched Spacefast, a new service designed to provide infrastructure for 'vibe-coded' applications and websites. The platform offers essential backend services including databases, authentication, file uploads, email, and analytics, allowing users to turn AI-generated code into functional digital products. Spacefast distinguishes itself by offering an open ecosystem where users can connect various AI agents—such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Grokbot—or link existing Git repositories. By leveraging Automattic's established infrastructure, including its CDN and potential integrations with WooCommerce, the company aims to compete against specialized tools like Lovable and Emergent, as well as design platforms like Figma and Canva.
