Spacelift Flows allows platform teams to build automations with an AI-assisted visual canvas or code to bring policy and audit controls to infrastructure operations, so platform teams can move at the pace the business requires.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Spacelift, the infrastructure orchestration company, today announced Spacelift Flows, extending its platform beyond infrastructure deployment to day 2 operations, where platform teams spend the majority of their time running, maintaining and troubleshooting infrastructure already in production.

AI-assisted development is increasing the volume and velocity of infrastructure reaching production, but automation and governance have historically stopped short of this operational phase. Spacelift, known for bringing automation and governance to infrastructure as code (IaC) and GitOps deployment, now applies its automation, policy enforcement and audit control expertise to day 2 operations, helping platform engineers keep pace with AI-generated code without becoming the bottleneck.

Spacelift Flows carries automation past provisioning into operations

Infrastructure teams have spent the past decade automating provisioning. However, the operations that occur after a deployment have remained manual and ad hoc. Making matters worse, platform engineers have had no shared view of what automations are running and no record of execution when something fails. That changes with Spacelift Flows. It extends Spacelift’s automation and governance, as well as its AI-powered Spacelift Intelligence layer, to day 2 operations.

“Platform teams are absorbing more infrastructure requests than ever as AI accelerates how quickly their developers write code,” said Pawel Hytry, CEO of Spacelift. “Our customers already manage their IaC pipelines with Spacelift, and Flows extends that same automation, visibility and governance to everything that happens after. When the work after deployment is governed and automated, features ship faster, fewer things break, and platform engineers spend their days on what’s next instead of firefighting.”

The Spacelift infrastructure orchestration platform

The Spacelift platform now manages the full infrastructure lifecycle on a single control plane, with one governance layer and one AI layer spanning deployment and operations. The IaC and GitOps deployment component is now called Spacelift Deploy, and the new operations component is called Spacelift Flows. Spanning both components is Spacelift Intelligence, an intelligence layer that helps understand, design, govern and even deploy infrastructure with natural language.

Spacelift now gives platform teams a single place to see every infrastructure automation running in their organization, with a step-by-step execution trail, real-time status and the ability to replay a workflow either in whole or in parts.

Governance and audit that don’t stop at provisioning

Every control that applies to infrastructure deployed with Spacelift now also applies to what happens after it. Policy, role-based access control and audit history work the same way on a provisioning run and on an operational workflow. Deployment events can trigger operational workflows and vice versa.

Clear ownership for agentic infrastructure

Platform teams increasingly want agentic workflows, where an agent, not a person, makes the change. Spacelift Flows gives agents a governed path into infrastructure. Teams can expose internal databases, monitoring systems and operational APIs as MCP servers that agents can call, with private network access and approval gates. Each agent authenticates as itself and appears in the audit trail as its own user, rather than borrowing an engineer’s credentials or using a shared key. Every action is attributable to the agent that took it. The workflows themselves execute deterministically, running the same way every time.

The platform team at Discovery Education has deployed Spacelift Flows and is realizing the various benefits of agentic workflows after infrastructure deployment. Toby Norman, partner success manager, said “I hadn’t built an MCP server for my infrastructure before. It went very smoothly with Spacelift Flows. In a few hours I had several tools running and a proof of concept that helps developers debug their services on our platform.” Parker Cameron, senior manager, cloud engineering, said “With Flows, we had something working in a few hours, instead of four weeks later and still struggling with auth, which is usually the pattern.”

More information can be found on the Flows landing page and on the Spacelift blog. A webinar featuring a demo will be held on November 5th — register here.

FAQ

Does anything change for existing Spacelift customers?
No. The product previously known as Spacelift is now called Spacelift Deploy. Functionality, contracts and access are unchanged, and existing customers can use Spacelift Flows immediately.

What does Spacelift Flows cost?
Spacelift Flows is available as part of the Spacelift platform for no additional cost through a promotional period that runs through the end of the year. Commercial pricing and packaging will be announced in Q1 2027.

What does Spacelift Flows integrate with?
Spacelift Flows includes out-of-the-box integrations for AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, Jira and Slack. There is a library of more than 40 pre-built templates for tasks including incident enrichment, drift alerts, environment vending and certificate expiry monitoring. Teams can easily build custom flows for internal services and APIs. For AI use cases, Spacelift Flows can act as an MCP gateway, giving agents governed access to internal systems, and can work with whichever AI model a team selects.

Can Spacelift Flows automations be managed as code?
Automations built in Spacelift Flows, whether on the canvas or with the AI assistant, can also be defined as code through a Terraform provider published to the Terraform and OpenTofu registries.

CPG businesses can now put AI to work on their payables, connecting Settle’s purchasing, bill pay and working capital data with the rest of their tools

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Settle, the leading cash flow management and working capital platform for inventory-based businesses, today announced the launch of its public API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Businesses can now connect Settle directly to their own software, data warehouses and AI assistants such as Claude. It is the first step toward agentic procure-to-pay, where AI handles the busywork across the systems a business runs on, from purchase order to payment.

Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands run on a patchwork of tools: Shopify, an ERP, accounting software, inventory and 3PL systems, and spreadsheets in between. Settle’s API and MCP server bring Settle into that whole stack. Finance and operations teams, and the AI agents working for them, can tap into Settle’s payables data and tools alongside their other systems to reconcile faster, forecast cash, and answer questions like “what do we owe our suppliers next month?” in seconds instead of hours.

Early customers are already building with it, from custom cash flow dashboards to AI agents that help run day-to-day operations. Settle plans to keep expanding what agents can see and do across procurement, payables, and working capital.

“Every business we talk to is rebuilding how they work with AI, and the companies moving fastest want their tools to talk to each other,” said Alek Koenig, CEO and founder of Settle. “We built Settle’s API and MCP server so a brand’s AI can work alongside our platform and their other systems, not around them. This is the foundation for agentic procure-to-pay: software that keeps purchasing, payables, and cash flow moving on its own, with our team behind it.”

Developers and Settle customers can get started at settle.com/api or by contacting their Settle account team.

ABOUT SETTLE
Settle is a cash flow management and working capital platform purpose-built for product businesses. The company’s integrated suite, including procurement, bill pay, AP automation, and flexible working capital financing, gives brands the tools to manage their payables and access the capital they need to grow. With more than $8 billion in payments processed and total originations exceeding $4 billion, Settle has helped thousands of businesses across the United States unlock the capital they need to scale. Settle is backed by leading investors including Ribbit Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Caffeinated Capital, Stripes, Founders Fund, SciFi Ventures, Citi Ventures, and Activant Capital.
