Fastagent is a CLI tool that scaffolds a headless chat agent API, runs it locally, and deploys it to Railway or Google Cloud Run with bearer-token authentication. It handles production concerns like Redis-backed conversation history, bounded context, and provider-agnostic model configuration via OpenRouter or OpenAI. The project is interesting for its focus on self-hosted, infrastructure-agnostic agent deployment without requiring a GitHub repo or browser UI.

Target audience: backend developers, devops engineers, AI engineers
