Managing infrastructure as code with Spacelift
Universal Tool
Conclusions
All told, Spacelift is as a state-of-the-art deployment tool. In addition to the regularly required functions, it also includes special features, such as the audit trail and support for automated monitoring.
Refreshing and not often found today is the fact that Spacelift not only offers standard functions tailored to Kubernetes but also supports other IaC tools such as Ansible and Pulumi, making Spacelift a valid alternative to tools such as Foreman and Jenkins, not to mention DIY tools. Compared with DIY, Spacelift definitely produces presentable results very quickly, provided you do the work on the application side. Of course, you need to do this work for other tools as well.
The negative aspect is that Spacelift cannot be used without non-European cloud services. If you are based in Europe and value digital sovereignty, you are left out in the cold. If this is not a problem, Spacelift is definitely worth a closer look.
