    Spacelift WorkerPool Controller

     Info
    Deployed on AWS
    Run your spacelift private workers in Kubernetes natively.
    4.9

    Overview

    This controller cannot be used alone, it is an extension to the main Spacelift product. You should only use it if you have Spacelift running already, and want to run your workload on EKS. It is not a standalone product.

    We provide a Kubernetes operator for managing Spacelift worker pools. This operator allows you to define WorkerPool resources in your cluster, and allows you to scale these pools up and down using standard Kubernetes functionality.

    EKS add-on

    An add-on is software that provides supporting operational capabilities to Kubernetes applications but isn't specific to the application. This includes software like observability agents or Kubernetes drivers that allow the cluster to interact with underlying AWS resources for networking, compute, and storage. Add-on software is typically built and maintained by the Kubernetes community, cloud providers like AWS, or third-party vendors. Amazon EKS add-ons provide installation and management of a curated set of add-ons for Amazon EKS clusters. All Amazon EKS add-ons include the latest security patches and bug fixes, and are validated by AWS to work with Amazon EKS. Amazon EKS add-ons allow you to consistently ensure that your Amazon EKS clusters are secure and stable and reduce the amount of work that you need to do to install, configure, and update add-ons.

    Fast, Intuitive, and Easy to Use—With Supportive Account Team

    Reviewed on Aug 17, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Ease of use, Slack integrations, generally it's fast and intuitive to pick up how it works. I was connected with an account team that was understanding of my limited use for now and they were still eager to support.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The free tier is definitely enough for day to day use but the jump in pricing to get more features is a bit steep. a more guided, curated onboarding would have been nice to narrow all the options for how to potentially implement Spacelift.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Visibility and ease of management for my infrastructure. I like how the UI helps me break down my different stacks and resources.

    Streamlined Terraform Management with Spacelift

    Reviewed on Aug 17, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I use Spacelift to manage my Terraform IaC, and it makes state management super easy while running Terraform very fast. I think the UI is very clean. I like using the module registry and module tests, as it makes managing our Terraform repos as modules super easy. It streamlines the process of creating and maintaining modules, allowing us to release changes like any other immutable resource, and removes concerns about breaking new module versions. The initial setup of Spacelift was also easy.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The UI, while visually stunning, can feel cluttered at times, making it hard to find exactly what I'm looking for without having to click around a ton.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use Spacelift to manage Terraform IaC, making state management super easy and running Terraform fast. Its module registry simplifies releasing changes without breakage, enhancing module management.

    Flexible Policy Engine Makes Terraform Workflows Consistent, Auditable, and Secure

    Reviewed on Aug 17, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    What I like best about Spacelift is its flexible policy engine for controlling Terraform workflows. At Eventbrite, policies can determine which stacks run, when plans are created, and whether changes require approval, giving teams a strong balance of automation, visibility, and safety. Combined with pull-request integration and private workers, Spacelift makes infrastructure delivery more consistent, auditable, and secure.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    What I dislike most about Spacelift is that the operational model can sometimes feel complex. Access permissions, approval ownership, worker-pool capacity, and policy or notification configuration can create bottlenecks and require SRE support, especially when teams need to test changes quickly. The platform is powerful, but getting the setup and guardrails right takes time and clear documentation.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Spacelift replaces fragmented, manual Terraform execution with a shared workflow for planning, approving, and applying infrastructure changes. At Eventbrite, it provides pull-request visibility, policy-driven controls, centralised state and run history, and secure private worker pools for internal services. This reduces deployment risk and makes infrastructure changes easier to review, repeat, and audit, while allowing SRE to provide guardrails without manually running every deployment.

    Spacelift Brings Strong Governance, Self-Service Guardrails, and Great Support

    Reviewed on May 27, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Spacelift provides the guardrails needed to support a multi-team environment. It offers policy support for governance, delegation layers that balance security with self-service, and a local-preview feature that helps prevent “works on my machine” scenarios while enabling quick self-checks. On top of that, its state management and stack designs make day-to-day administration and overall organization easier.

    The platform is also backed by a knowledgeable, responsive team. They work with you as a partner—supporting your activities, helping you reach your goals, and improving the product in ways that benefit your use cases.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The hardest part about using Spacelift is making sure we’re delivering enough value to the company to justify the cost. There are other ways to manage our environment without Spacelift, so the conversation often becomes less about whether it works and more about whether it’s worth the spend. From a usability standpoint, it’s been great: we have our quarterly meetings and there’s basically nothing to complain about. At the same time, it has taken extra effort to explain the expense to the money people.

    In the end, this isn’t really a Spacelift problem so much as a challenge of clearly communicating all the benefits the platform brings, including the “insurance” side of it—less money saved and more money not risked—by using Spacelift.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    In a multi-team environment we're able to use shared workloads without stepping on one another's toes. Issues that may arise are easier to troubleshoot with the auditing provided. Who ran what, when, and logs showing what occurred. Drift detection to highlight live changes and account for them.

    Then the pure scale we're able to achieve. Our environment runs releases across 20+ AWS accounts at a time with 10+ stacks per environment. We're able to easily trigger and manage the stacks. And now with the AI assistant we're able to have it crawl those stacks and report on stack feedback details easily.

    User-Friendly UI, Feature-Rich Platform, and Exceptional Support

    Reviewed on May 20, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Spacelift, as a piece of software, has a lot of pros. From my point of view—and most importantly from a Platform Engineering perspective—it’s user-friendly, easy to use, and has a really nice UI.

    We’re also always excited to see just how many features Spacelift offers.

    On top of that, the Spacelift support team is absolutely the best and consistently super helpful.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Honestly, there are very few things—if any—that we don’t like about Spacelift.

    If I had to point to something, the Kubernetes support could be better, but we mainly started using it for its amazing Terraform support.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Spacelift is a great fit for what we’re trying to achieve as a Platform Engineering department: providing developers with an easy-to-use infrastructure deployment platform.

    Thanks to it, our deployments are now faster than ever.
