Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, has launched Spacefast, a service for deploying vibe-coded websites and apps.
Spacefast provides infrastructure for these apps, including databases, authentication, file uploads, emails, and analytics. The report says it competes with Lovable and Emergent, which offer both an interface and infrastructure for vibe-coded apps, but in a more open way.
Users can connect Spacefast to agents and chatbots including ChatGPT, Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, Grok Bot, Muse, Pi, Cursor, OpenCode, and Amp. They can also connect a Git repository.
Batuhan İçöz leads the product. He started it during one of Automattic's hackathon sprints earlier this year, while working on the cross-platform messaging app Beeper. He told TechCrunch that he often received Vercel links from non-technical friends who were exploring vibe coding. He said he thought there had to be a better way for people to set up and deploy projects. The project was previously called Stattic.
Automattic soft-launched Spacefast in September to collect feedback before this launch. The report says people and organizations have used it for internal mockups, slideshows, and offer-related websites.
