Automattic debuts a platform to deploy vibe coding apps amid a changing internet

WordPress has been a crucial technology and content management system for websites like TechCrunch. Now, WordPress.com owner Automattic is responding to the changing state of the web by debuting a new service called Spacefast, which will allow users to deploy vibe-coded websites and apps.

Spacefast is designed to provide infrastructure for the vibe-coded apps, including databases, authentication, file uploads, emails, and analytics, to make them functional websites, apps, or services. The product competes with the likes of Lovable and Emergent, which offer both interface and rails for vibe-coded apps, but in a more open way.

Users can connect Spacefast with other agents and chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, Grokbot, Muse, Pi, Cursor, Opencode, and Amp. Alternatively, they can connect a Git repository to Spacefast to get started.

The product is headed by Batuhan Icoz, who worked on working on it during one of the company’s hackathon sprints earlier in the year. At that time, he worked on the company’s cross-platform messaging app Beeper and said that he often got Vercel links from his non-technical friends while exploring vibe coding.

“I thought there had to be a better way for everyone to set up and deploy their projects. Automattic already has good infrastructure, but we have been traditionally associated with just WordPress. I thought, why do I have to use Cloudflare when we have a CDN (Content Delivery Network) just as good? So I started working on what was called Stattic and now Spacefast,” he told TechCrunch over a call.
