Spacelift's Recognition at the 2025 CloudX Awards
Spacelift, an innovator in infrastructure orchestration, has been awarded the esteemed 2025 CloudX Award for its exceptional contributions to cloud infrastructure. This accolade represents a significant milestone in the company's journey, highlighting its commitment to enhancing operational efficiency in modern DevOps environments.
Held annually, the CloudX Awards are recognized as the most prestigious awards in the cloud industry, establishing a platform to showcase breakthrough advancements in cloud technologies. This year's winners were determined by the DevNetwork Cloud Advisory Board—comprised of respected figures and experts from the industry. Spacelift's recognition was based on its outstanding technical innovation, the widespread adoption of its technologies, and notable coverage in the media.
The Speed-Control Paradox Solved
One of Spacelift’s standout achievements lies in its ability to resolve what is referred to as the "Speed-Control Paradox" within DevOps. In a workspace where teams strive to expedite deliveries, the challenge remains to do so without compromising security, compliance, or governance. By offering integration with leading Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools—such as Terraform, OpenTofu, and CloudFormation—Spacelift provides enhanced deployment flexibility across various environments, including SaaS, cloud, and on-premises locations.
Additionally, a significant innovation from the Spacelift team is the Saturnhead AI tool, which skillfully interprets complex infrastructure logs, converting them into practical insights. This advancement not only diminishes operational toil but also significantly accelerates incident response time on a large scale.
Acknowledged Leadership in the Cloud Ecosystem
Jonathan Pasky, the executive producer of DevNetwork and the host of the CloudX Awards, acknowledged Spacelift's achievements during the announcement, stating, "Cloud computing and infrastructure products continue to showcase the scalability and innovation driving today's shift to the cloud. Spacelift's win emphasizes its pivotal role in the cloud ecosystem."
This award reinforces Spacelift's mission to deliver secure and enterprise-ready orchestration, enabling DevOps and platform teams to advance their operations confidently. Pawel Hytry, CEO of Spacelift, expressed his pride in the recognition and stated that combining flexibility, security, and intelligence within a single workflow is key to helping organizations tackle the complexities of infrastructure.
Upcoming Events and Community Engagement
As a part of celebrating its achievements and fostering community interactions, Spacelift is set to host the
IaCConf Spotlight Security on August 27. This event represents a vital opportunity for practitioners, enterprises, and open-source contributors to connect and exchange insights surrounding infrastructure-as-code security. The free virtual event aims to highlight best practices, share case studies, and explore new trends within cloud-native infrastructure security.
