About Spacelift
Spacelift is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) orchestration platform designed to help DevOps and platform engineering teams manage and automate their infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and governance. It orchestrates popular IaC tools like Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible, and CloudFormation, providing a unified workflow for deploying and managing infrastructure rapidly and securely. The platform aims to accelerate developer velocity by enabling self-service provisioning with guardrails, while giving platform teams the control and visibility they need through policies, drift detection, and resource visualization.
Spacelift addresses common IaC challenges such as managing infrastructure at scale, improving developer velocity, scaling IaC practices, and fostering cross-team collaboration. It integrates with existing tooling including VCS, observability tools, and cloud providers, allowing users to connect and orchestrate their entire infrastructure ecosystem. The platform offers both SaaS and self-hosted deployment options to cater to various security, compliance, and regulatory requirements.
Key features include automated provisioning, configuration management with Ansible, robust governance capabilities like Golden Paths and custom policies, and automated drift detection with remediation. It also supports developer self-service through Blueprints and integrations with tools like ServiceNow, making it easier for developers to provision compliant infrastructure without direct DevOps intervention.
