Our take
As cloud-native development and DevOps continue to gain momentum, it’s also becoming more difficult to manage infrastructure, particularly for distributed teams in scaling companies.
Spacelift’s solution is an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) platform, which allows for smooth management of multiple complex cloud infrastructures, and automation of manual tasks, which the company claims to result in greatly reduced outages and downtime.
Having launched in 2020, Spacelift has been quick to scale, running teams in California and Warsaw off the back of several rounds of funding. While there’s competition in the space, most notably from HashiCorp (which went public in late 2021), the fact that Spacelift has the likes of DocuSign, Figma, Checkout.com, and Lightspeed as customers shows that it’s doing plenty right.
