Spacelift Reviews

Spacelift makes infrastructure management manageable, with it's ability to use terraform or other infrastructure as code tools, spacelift feels like a must have for any organization.

I would like to see a little more controllability over the data we are storing. Though Terraform allows us to control the building and deployment of our infastructure, I always worry about data that is exposed to the service provider.

Spacelift is helping with ensuring our infrastructure deployment is dependable and consistent with little to no hiccups, we are able to ensure our infastructure is consistently running.

Lots of flexibility - integrate with your workflows without needing to change them. Great collaboration features like pull request previews, access levels, change approvals, and more.

The flexibility comes with complexity. It can be easy to build something too company or workflow-specific when you should instead take the opportunity to rationalise and simplify our processes.

Compare Spacelift to Hashicorp's official platform. Compare the feature sets and pricing. Make up your own mind :-)

Run Terraform at scale for a distributed team of devops & SRE staff.

Spacelift has done a positive transformation to the way we manage our infrastructure. Now we have a tool with a lot of built-in guards so that developers are able to provision their infrastructure themselves, with minimal assistance from infrastructure engineers. This includes amazing integration with GitHub, tests, policies and everything is done as code.

I wish Spacelift could grow faster in terms of features, since we rely on the tool more and more.

We want to manage our infrastructure as code, this becomes particularly difficult, since we have many dev teams. Overall, there is three strategies to provision the infrastructure available to us: a dedicated team for this, everyone can do anything and a centralized tool. In the organization of this size, a dedicated team quickly becomes a bottleneck and too broad permissions lead to failures in production. We had to to come up with a centralized tool, and the way Spacelift implements this idea really fits our needs.

a lot of options to customize

ability to set up different policies

terraform spacelift provider, so there is no need to configure something manually

the complexity of configuring policies, it would be great if they could provide more examples

Managing Terraform scripts (CI/CD)

I like the speedy interactions and attention to detail from their engineers. We can work directly with their engineers over slack which has made incorporating their terraform workflow a breeze. In an edge case, they alerted us to it, causing a slowdown, and fixed our issue within a week!

I find the UI a bit annoying at times. For example, I find myself having to hit the spacelift logo to go home just to hit a menu item that should be available globally.

We are using spacelift to handle Terraform workflows and its private registry. The main benefit so far has been easy setup with new stacks, and we are starting to use the module registry to help make the rest of the org move quicker.

The best thing about spacelift is the team, they made it easy to integrate and are always there to answer questions quickly. The sales process was also smooth and easy !

Some of the UI controls are a bit clunky, but it's under very active development, and I see frequent updates so not worried about this. The team is always open for feedback !

Spacelift has helped us set up a flexible and productive Infrastructure as Code environment. It makes the basics like setting up and iterating on plans simpler and quicker, which has allowed us to focus on larger engineering concerns. And when things in our infrastructure go wrong, that’s when Spacelift really shines!
