What is CodeFast?

CodeFast provides developers with cloud-based sandboxes and AI-powered coding capabilities accessible through a single API. The tool bundles together isolated code execution environments, AI-assisted coding sessions, terminal access, and Git integration, making it straightforward to embed AI coding features into existing applications without managing infrastructure separately. The service is designed for product teams and developers who want to offer AI-assisted coding to their users without building these systems from scratch. Rather than piecing together multiple services, CodeFast consolidates the essential components needed for AI-driven development workflows into one platform you can call via API.
