Case Study: commercetools accelerates infrastructure deployments with Spacelift

commercetools cuts deployment time from days to minutes with Spacelift

commercetools, a leading digital commerce platform, faced significant challenges in managing Terraform across complex multicloud environments. Their SRE teams were burdened with a highly manual process for infrastructure deployment, spending at least a full day each week attending to developer pull requests and follow-ups. This cumbersome workflow created long delivery timelines and prevented developers from having autonomy over their own infrastructure needs.

Spacelift provided a solution by streamlining commercetools' infrastructure automation. The platform integrated seamlessly with their GitHub repositories and cloud environments, enabling automated plans and deployments triggered by pull requests. Spacelift's private module registry solved their versioning issues and its approval policies enabled secure, self-service workflows. As a result, deployment times were reduced from days to mere minutes, and SREs were freed to focus on more meaningful work while developers gained full autonomy to manage their own deployments.
