Case Study: IXL Learning standardizes IaC at scale with Spacelift

IXL Learning unifies IaC for 96 of the top 100 U.S. school districts with Spacelift

IXL Learning, an educational technology provider with a portfolio of brands, faced a challenge in unifying its diverse infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices following multiple acquisitions. Their existing Terraform solution became cost-prohibitive, so they sought a new vendor that offered strong governance, managed state, and could be managed itself via IaC. This led them to select Spacelift for its scalable pricing and solid support.

Spacelift enabled IXL to implement a unified "One Stack" model to manage all stacks as code, ensuring consistency across environments. They used Spacelift's approval policies to enable secure cross-team collaboration and extensively leveraged contexts to standardize environment-specific configurations. This solution from Spacelift is helping IXL standardize its IaC strategy across over 15 properties, making the standard approach the easy, default option for all current and future teams.
