What is Spacelift?
Spacelift's documentation describes stacks linked to source repositories and execution tools. Its product material explains policy-as-code for resource and approval rules. The platform coordinates infrastructure changes; the team still owns the infrastructure code and cloud permissions.

SpaceliftInfrastructure as CodeGovern infrastructure changes from code
Key capabilities
- Stacks: Connect a repository and workflow tool to an infrastructure stack.
- Policies: Define approval or plan controls in code.
- Runs: Inspect planned and applied changes before and after execution.
Where Spacelift fits
Infrastructure workflow orchestration and governance are the central scope.
Positioning and limitations
Consider Spacelift when multiple teams need reviewable Terraform, OpenTofu or related workflows. Trace a change from pull request through plan, approval and apply, including the audit record.
A useful trial catches a disallowed resource before apply and shows who approved an allowed change.
