An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Spacelift seeks to bring order to a sprawling market of deployment automation, configuration and IaC (infrastructure as code) tools by orchestrating infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and governance.
The goal of platform engineering—providing self-service “golden path” environments for developers, often leaves complexity behind the scenes for operations teams to manage in production. Innovation continues apace in the infrastructure space, and different departments of an organization may select their own open source and platform-specific tools for performance and cost advantages.
Spacelift’s control interface works atop a stack-independent policy engine, managing provisioning from the repo to Ansible playbooks, Terraform, OpenTofu, and other IaC providers, while governing against configuration drift, incompatibilities and unnecessary cloud costs.
