An open-source self-service infrastructure solution with a UI and API for managing Terraform/OpenTofu lifecycle deployments across cloud environments.
Stack Lifecycle Deployment (SLD) is an open-source self-service infrastructure platform that provides a UI and REST API for managing Terraform and OpenTofu deployments. It solves the problem of managing IaC lifecycles across multiple teams and environments by offering dynamic form generation, scheduling, role-based access, and built-in remote state management.
DevOps engineers, platform teams, and cloud administrators who need to standardize and automate Terraform/OpenTofu workflows across squads and environments with governance and self-service capabilities.
Developers choose SLD because it offers a complete, self-hosted alternative to commercial IaC management tools, with features like dynamic UI forms, squad-based isolation, and built-in remote state—reducing the operational overhead of managing Terraform at scale.
OpenSource self-service infrastructure solution that defines and manages the complete lifecycle of resources used and provisioned into a cloud! It is a terraform UI with rest api for terraform and OpenTofu automation

Automatically creates HTML forms from Terraform variables, eliminating manual UI work for input handling and simplifying user interactions, as demonstrated in the deployment workflow.
Provides its own remote backend supporting MongoDB, S3, Azure, and GCP, removing the need for external state management configuration and ensuring consistency across deployments.
Uses role-based access control with squad and environment scoping (e.g., Yoda, Darth Vader roles), enabling secure multi-tenant deployments and team segregation.
Allows scheduling of infrastructure deployment and destruction, facilitating cost optimization and automated workflows, as shown in the scheduling feature examples.
Requires Docker, Docker Compose, or Kubernetes (e.g., Kind) for deployment, with CLI dependencies and microservices architecture, making it resource-intensive for smaller teams.
Lacks SSO and LDAP support, relying on basic role-based authentication; the roadmap admits these are future enhancements, which may not meet enterprise security needs.
Missing integrations like Slack, advanced metrics, and shift-left security, as noted in the roadmap, limiting out-of-the-box functionality compared to commercial alternatives.
