Fastbuilder Comparison With Other Leading Code Generation Products
In today’s fast-paced digital world, software development is evolving rapidly, with automation playing a central role. While traditional code generation tools offer significant efficiency gains by automating parts of the coding process, platforms like FastBuilder are leading the charge toward software generation, which takes automation to a whole new level. This distinction between code generation and software generation is critical—and understanding these differences can transform how we build software products.
This blog explores the contrast between FastBuilder and other code generation platforms, the advantages of adopting a product-story-driven approach, and how prompt-based software generation can lead to better code ownership, cost savings, and higher-quality products.
Code generation platforms focus on granular automation—functions, classes, in-filling, and other micro-actions within a repository. Developers still need to manage many small components and processes. As a result, thousands of prompts are typically required to generate hundreds of code blocks, spread across many weeks or even months. This incremental development approach brings about both benefits and challenges.
