Self-Service Infrastructure with Spacelift

Self-service infrastructure is a crucial component in Agile environments, allowing development teams to work autonomously and efficiently. Spacelift, a multifunctional platform, delivers CI/CD and orchestration functionality while also operating as a self-service infrastructure platform. Key features enabling this approach include Blueprints for securely deploying templates, Spaces for organizing accounts and environments, Policies for controlling blueprint usage, and Dependencies for creating chains of infrastructure deployment. Real-world examples demonstrate how Spacelift can improve the process by providing a central tool with clear separation of responsibilities between platform and development teams, enabling efficient delivery of software while maintaining control over infrastructure and best practices.
