Hello, Spacelift!»

Spacelift is a specialized CI/CD platform designed to address the collaborative challenges of Infrastructure as Code (IaC). While traditional CI/CD tools excel at stateless applications, infrastructure management presents unique challenges that Spacelift was specifically built to solve.

Infrastructure as Code: The Multiplayer Challenge»

Infrastructure as Code projects create a unique set of challenges:

  • State management: Unlike application code, infrastructure changes rely on state files that track what's currently deployed
  • Coordination: Multiple team members working on the same infrastructure can create conflicts
  • Dependencies: Infrastructure components often depend on one another, creating complex deployment ordering requirements
  • Security: Infrastructure credentials have significant privileges and require careful handling

Spacelift transforms infrastructure management from a risky solo endeavor into a collaborative experience with guardrails.

The Graph of Graphs Problem»

Most organizations face what we call the "graph of graphs" problem - the challenge of managing not just individual infrastructure stacks, but the complex relationships between them:

  1. Stack Dependencies: Infrastructure projects often depend on outputs from other stacks
  2. Deployment Order: Changes must be applied in the correct sequence to maintain system integrity
  3. Cross-team Collaboration: Different teams maintain different components with interdependencies

Spacelift's Stack Dependencies feature elegantly solves this by allowing you to:

  • Define explicit relationships between stacks
  • Automatically receive outputs from upstream stacks as inputs
  • Trigger dependent stacks when upstream changes occur
  • Visualize the complete dependency graph of your infrastructure

Self-service Infrastructure with Blueprints»

Blueprints enable controlled self-service for your organization, allowing platform teams to create standardized infrastructure templates while giving application teams the freedom to deploy what they need.

With Blueprints, you can:

  • Standardize Infrastructure: Create templated stack configurations that enforce best practices
  • Enable Self-service: Allow developers to provision infrastructure without deep IaC expertise
  • Maintain Governance: Embed security guardrails and compliance controls directly in templates
  • Streamline Onboarding: Reduce the time needed for teams to provision new environments

Blueprints transform the platform team from a bottleneck into enablers of developer productivity while maintaining control over infrastructure standards and security.

Key Features»

Spacelift supports a wide range of IaC tools including:

With enterprise-grade capabilities:

  • Policy as Code: Define governance rules for who can do what, when, and how
  • Private Workers: Run jobs within your own infrastructure for enhanced security
  • RBAC & Spaces: Organize resources and control access with fine-grained permissions
  • Cloud Integrations: Native integration with AWS, Azure, and GCP for secure credential management
  • VCS Integrations: Connect with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps
