Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, has launched Spacefast, a service for deploying vibe-coded websites and apps. It bundles infrastructure such as databases, authentication, file uploads, email and analytics, and can be connected to a range of AI agents and chatbots or to a Git repository.

Spacefast is designed to supply the backend pieces that vibe-coded apps need to work as websites, apps or services. These include databases, authentication, file uploads, emails and analytics. Automattic positions it against Lovable and Emergent, but says it is more open in how users choose their tools.

Users can connect Spacefast to agents and chatbots including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Opencode and Amp, or start from a Git repository. The product is led by Batuhan Icoz, who began it during an Automattic hackathon and says he wanted a simpler way to deploy projects than Vercel or Cloudflare.

Automattic soft-launched Spacefast in September to gather feedback before this full launch. Icoz says the company sees use for internal mockups, slideshows and offer pages, and that enterprise customers are a target, with web analytics and WooCommerce features available through the parent company.

## Why it matters if you build agents

Agent builders who generate apps can add a deployment target with built-in databases, auth, file uploads and email, connected through an agent or a Git repository.

Because the product is new and Icoz expects some users to churn, developers should test the platform's limits and pricing before relying on it for production work.
