Spacelift hosts IaCConf 2026 to address Infrastructure as Code scaling

Spacelift hosted IaCConf 2026, a free virtual conference on May 14, 2026, centered on Infrastructure as Code practices. The event focused on how teams handle a growing gap between developer delivery speed and infrastructure readiness while maintaining governance and control.

Organizers described the conference as a response to increasing software delivery velocity, which exposed limits in existing infrastructure, workflows, and governance models. The program positioned production accountability—reliability, security, governance, and operational excellence—as a continuing responsibility for platform and DevOps teams.

IaCConf 2026 used practitioner-led sessions to address scaling through Infrastructure as Code. The agenda included discussions such as “When 10x Code Velocity Could Mean 10x Operational Risk,” “AI Speaks Terraform Like a Tourist,” and “Replacing Terraform Module Forks with Automatic Policy Transformation Rules,” along with “How to Safely Deploy AI Agents that Write and Manage your IaC” and “AI-Enforced Architecture Fitness Functions that Scale.”

Gareth Kersey, Lead Organizer of IaCConf, said, “The practitioners who show up to IaCConf aren't looking for hype—they're looking for answers.” Kersey added, “They're the people responsible for keeping systems stable and secure while everyone around them moves faster. Keeping Pace is built for them. Every session is grounded in real production experience, because that's what this community values: substance over spectacle, and practical knowledge you can take back to your team on Monday.” Sessions were streamed live starting at 11:00am EDT/3:00pm UTC on May 14, with registration and agenda details at iacconf.com.
