Overview

Spacelift is a sophisticated Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) governance platform designed to automate, secure, and scale infrastructure management workflows across complex cloud environments. It integrates tightly with popular IaC tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, and CloudFormation, enabling teams to enforce compliance policies, control changes, and automate deployments in a safe, auditable manner. Spacelift supports collaboration, automates drift detection, and ensures repeatability with policy-as-code and a flexible workflow engine, helping organizations maintain governance without sacrificing agility. It is particularly suited for organizations managing infrastructure at scale, ensuring consistent, secure, and compliant infrastructure delivery.
