Overview

What is Spacelift?

Spacelift is an infrastructure orchestration platform for teams managing Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Terragrunt, Ansible, Kubernetes, and related IaC workflows. It combines policy, approvals, drift visibility, GitOps automation, and an infrastructure assistant for designing, deploying, and governing infrastructure. Its strength is helping platform teams manage many IaC stacks without relying on ad hoc pipelines within platform teams managing governed delivery workflows at engineering scale.

It fits organizations with multiple infrastructure repositories, compliance requirements, and platform teams that need standard guardrails. Buyers should review free-plan limits, quote-based tiers, runner model, policy language, and supported frameworks before rollout. Spacelift is more specialized than general DevOps suites, so compare it with env0 and Pulumi when infrastructure governance is the central requirement within platform teams managing governed delivery workflows at engineering scale.
