Developer Advocate

Spacelift is the most flexible management platform for Infrastructure as Code, helping DevOps teams manage cloud infrastructures simultaneously, providing automation, visibility, and collaboration. It was co-founded in 2020 by long-time DevOps practitioner Marcin Wyszynski and successful entrepreneur Pawel Hytry.

Spacelift is super easy to start with – our customers can go from zero to fully managing their cloud resources within less than a minute, with no prerequisites. It works with any IaC setup and can work as a self-hosted agent on infrastructure, offering maximum security without sacrificing functionality. Our solution is built on top of well-known and well-loved open-source components like Docker and Open Policy Agent, allowing complete customization while maintaining sensible defaults.

Top venture capital firms, including Insight Partners, Blossom Capital, Hoxton Ventures and Inovo Venture Partners back us. Spacelift has raised $22.6M in funding over three rounds.
