Spacelift is an infrastructure orchestration platform designed specifically for managing Infrastructure-as-Code workflows at scale, supporting Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Ansible, and Kubernetes configurations. It provides a CI/CD pipeline purpose-built for infrastructure changes, with features like drift detection, policy enforcement, and approval workflows that go far beyond what general-purpose CI/CD tools offer. Spacelift bridges the gap between writing infrastructure code and safely applying it to production environments.
The platform features OPA-based policy enforcement for plans, approvals, and security controls, automatic drift detection that highlights when real infrastructure diverges from its intended state, and flexible deployment models including SaaS, self-hosted, and air-gapped installations. Spacelift Intelligence introduces AI-powered capabilities for natural language infrastructure provisioning, diagnostics, and operational insights. The Intent feature allows teams to deploy infrastructure using natural language without writing any Terraform or configuration code.
Spacelift targets platform engineering teams and DevOps organizations managing complex, multi-cloud infrastructure across many teams and environments. It provides role-based access control, audit logs, cost estimation, and integration with version control systems for GitOps-style workflows. The platform is particularly valuable for enterprises that need governance, compliance, and security guardrails around infrastructure changes, ensuring that every modification goes through proper review and policy checks before reaching production.
