CodeSmash is a deployment platform that enables users to launch serverless applications, VPS instances, APIs, and static sites directly into their own cloud accounts, primarily AWS. It removes vendor lock‑in by operating entirely on customer‑owned infrastructure, ensuring full ownership of code, data, and deployed resources. The system supports one‑click deployment of more than 35 pre‑configured applications, no‑code API creation, and automated pipeline setup.
