spaceforge
A Python framework for building Spacelift plugins
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, with conditions. Install if you are actively building Spacelift plugins and prefer Python-first development over manifest authoring. The low install friction, permissive license, and active maintenance make it a reasonable choice. However, the Alpha status and limited real-world adoption mean you should verify that the framework's hook types and capabilities match your plugin requirements before committing to it in production.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and five common dependencies (PyYAML, click, pydantic, Jinja2, mergedeep).
- The package is actively maintained with a recent commit history, though it remains in Alpha status and has been available for less than a year.

What it is and what it does
Spaceforge is a Python framework designed to simplify building plugins for Spacelift, a cloud-native infrastructure automation platform. Instead of manually writing plugin manifests, you define your plugin logic in Python using a declarative, hook-based approach, and Spaceforge automatically generates the required manifest configuration. The framework depends on PyYAML for configuration parsing, click for CLI support, pydantic for data validation, Jinja2 for template rendering, and mergedeep for configuration merging.
The package targets infrastructure and DevOps teams who want to extend Spacelift's capabilities without wrestling with manifest syntax. It's currently in Alpha status, having been released in August 2025, and supports Python 3.10 and later. The project is actively maintained with recent commits, though it remains relatively new and has not yet accumulated significant community adoption or a large user base.
Use it for
- Build custom Spacelift plugins for infrastructure automation workflows without manually authoring manifest files
- Define plugin hooks and logic in Python to extend Spacelift's native capabilities for your organization
- Generate Spacelift plugin manifests declaratively from Python code to reduce configuration boilerplate
- Integrate custom DevOps logic into Spacelift pipelines using a structured, type-validated framework
