The concept of drift represents the difference between the desired and the actual state of the infrastructure managed by your tool of choice — Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, etc. There are two primary sources of drift in any environment.
Changes introduced by external actors — either humans or machines (scripts)
Dependency of your resources on external data sources that change
Drift happens, so let Spacelift deal with it.
Empower developers and security teams by offering drift detection for their favorite IaC tooling.
Drift detection runs
Automate periodic runs on your stable infrastructure to check for any changes.
Reconciliation jobs
Initiate tracked runs on your current state and obey the same rules and constraints as other runs.
"Spacelift has enabled Checkout to scale from a handful of deployments per day to averaging over 500 per day."
Joe Hutchinson
Director of Engineering — Developer Platform
“Our team includes developers distributed around the world across American, Australian, and European time zones. Spacelift has given us a lot of additional trust in each other. Because we have guardrails and defined workflows set up it allows us to have shared visibility into what we’re all doing.”
Alex Jurkiewicz

“With Spacelift, we can have an overarching collection of policies that govern when and how everything runs. This stuff is radically further ahead than the way 99% of companies use Terraform.”
Erik Osterman
CEO of DevOps Accelerator
"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!"
