After long thread with Andriy in #atmos, about how to use atmos and considerations how to get it set up with GitLab CI/CD, and after seeing how greatly it plays with Spacelift, thankfully to SweetOps modules, I want to try Spacelift over the next few weeks.

Before that, I need to write-up a decent SPIKE Jira ticket and hopefully get that approved by my manager. I would like to get inputs from those who already have experience working with Spacelift about what excites them and how did it solve some of the day-to-day problems for Infrastructure work. I would kindly appreciate any info you can share - that would be valuable to corroborate my case on why we should adopt Spacelift.

Thank you!
