Spacelift
What it is
Spacelift is an infrastructure-as-code orchestration platform for automating infrastructure workflows. It handles plans, applies, policy checks, and drift detection, while recording actions for governance and security. Integrations cover Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Ansible, AWS CDK, Serverless, and Terragrunt. Source control connections include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps; cloud and messaging integrations include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Governance tools include OPA-based policies, approvals, notifications, Spaces, Contexts, and role-based access control. Deployment choices range from managed SaaS to self-hosted, on-premises, air-gapped, and FedRAMP-authorized options. Spacelift lists API, self-hosted, and web platforms. Its Free plan includes two users and one public worker. Starter+ costs $20,000 per year, billed annually. Business and Enterprise plans are also annual subscriptions, and the pricing FAQ says features or workers cannot be removed from an annual subscription. The company says customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit and that it holds SOC 2 Type II certification.
