Infrastructure-as-code administration platform Spacelift nabs $15M

Spacelift, a platform that developer operations (DevOps) groups use to handle cloud infrastructure, has raised $15 million in a sequence B spherical of funding.

Whereas cloud infrastructure spending might be going through the roof, the rising complexities of managing such infrastructure as servers migrate from on-premises to the cloud is creating demand for instruments that assist builders handle the infrastructure as code — that is significantly essential in an more and more distributed workforce. Spacelift’s “plug-and-play” platform integrates with myriad infrastructure instruments and applied sciences, similar to Terraform and Pulumi, and works throughout cloud suppliers together with AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Azure.

Infrastructure-as-code

Based in 2020, Spacelift adopts a so-called infrastructure-as-code (IaC) mannequin to managing and provision knowledge facilities and networking infrastructure by code reasonably than handbook processes. Different notable gamers within the house embrace HashiCorp’s Terraform and Env0, which secured $17 million in funding only a few months again. 

“The complexity of infrastructures is growing, there may be shortage of human operators,” Spacelift cofounder and COO Pawel Hytry informed VentureBeat. “Implementing infrastructure-as-code helps alleviate these pains, implementing instruments similar to Spacelift additional alleviates the challenges of managing the more and more complicated infrastructure setup.”

The corporate, which is headquartered in Redwood Metropolis, California with a further hub in Poland, had beforehand raised round $7.6 million. Its sequence B spherical was led by Perception Companions, with participation from Blossom Capital, Inovo Enterprise Companions, and Hoxton Ventures, and it plans to make use of the recent money injection to increase its business enterprise within the U.S. and quadruple its engineering staff in Europe.
