Spacelift is an IaC management platform that helps you build end-to-end workflows for Terraform, OpenTofu, any custom Terraform binary, Terragrunt, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Ansible, and Kubernetes. With Spacelift, you can integrate with any tool you want, bring your own image, and control what happens before and after all runner phases, making it the most flexible IaC management platform available. Terraform Cloud is an advanced IaC tool designed for businesses to safely and efficiently manage their Terraform infrastructure. It enables collaborative infrastructure management across teams. Terraform Cloud's biggest limitation is that it can only manage your Terraform code — although it can manage Terragrunt through a workaround. Therefore, if you want to leverage OpenTofu, a custom Terraform binary, or other IaC tools such as Pulumi, CloudFormation, or Kubernetes, Terraform Cloud will not suffice. In this video, we will explore the top 5 reasons why engineers choose Spacelift instead of Terraform Cloud.
