Description
Spacelift is an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) orchestration platform designed to simplify, scale, and secure DevOps workflows. By automating plans, applies, policy checks, and drift detection, Spacelift provides a comprehensive solution for managing infrastructure across various cloud environments. Users connect their version control system (VCS) repositories to Spacelift, which then runs workflows that ensure governance and security while recording every action.

The platform supports a wide range of IaC tools, including Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Terragrunt, Ansible, and Kubernetes. This multi-IaC support allows teams to standardize workflows across different tooling, enhancing flexibility and reducing the risk of configuration drift. Spacelift's architecture includes a control plane that executes runs on workers, which can be either shared or private, providing users with full control over their data paths and ensuring end-to-end encryption of run payloads.
Spacelift's unique features include drift detection, which identifies discrepancies between the desired and actual state of infrastructure, and policy-as-code capabilities that utilize Open Policy Agent (OPA) for automated security and compliance checks. This ensures that all changes adhere to predefined rules, enhancing governance at scale. Additionally, Spacelift allows for the sharing of secrets and common configurations across stacks using Contexts, streamlining the management of environment variables and mounted files.
The platform is particularly beneficial for DevOps, platform, and SRE teams in various industries, including fintech, e-commerce, mobility, media, and SaaS. By providing a self-service infrastructure that boosts developer velocity without sacrificing oversight, Spacelift empowers teams to deliver secure and compliant infrastructure efficiently. Users can easily get started with a free trial, access detailed documentation, and utilize a Terraform starter repository to integrate Spacelift into their existing workflows.
