Case Study: PAR Retail achieves predictable Terraform management with Spacelift

PAR Retail manages 30+ environments with Spacelift

PAR Retail, a leading technology company empowering convenience and fuel retailers, faced the challenge of managing over 30 environments, each with more than a dozen Terraform stacks. This created a significant bulk management burden for their DevOps team and introduced the risk of state conflicts and instability when multiple engineers worked within the same project. They turned to Spacelift to solve this problem.

By implementing Spacelift, PAR Retail gained powerful tools for predictable Terraform management. The solution provided state and run management, local preview capabilities, and Open Policy Agent (OPA) guardrails, allowing their team to move quickly without obstructing each other. Spacelift delivered immense value through stability and time savings, eliminating interruptions caused by process instability. The Senior DevOps Engineer concluded that building a similarly dependable, flexible, and scalable in-house solution would be impractical for their team's size and workload.
