    Thanks for the suggestion. Architect compiles to CloudFormation, so the documented pattern for SAM/CDK/Serverless applies: a custom runner image with the Architect CLI plus hooks that run the synth step, deployed through the CloudFormation vendor: https://docs.spacelift.io/vendors/cloudformation. Marcin’s comment below spells out the exact steps. Given single-digit interest, native support isn’t on the roadmap, so I’m closing this. If you try the pattern and hit a wall, open a support ticket and we’ll help.

    This is already doable with Spacelift's existing CloudFormation support + context hooks. **Here's the approach:** 1. **Create a CloudFormation stack** in Spacelift pointing to your arc.codes repo 2. **Add a context hook** that runs before planning: ```bash # Install arc CLI npm install -g @architect/architect # Generate CloudFormation templates arc deploy --dry-run # or whatever generates your CF without deploying ``` 3. **Point the stack** at the generated CloudFormation files **Context hooks** let you run arbitrary scripts before Spacelift processes your infrastructure. So you can generate the CloudFormation that arc.codes creates, then let Spacelift manage the actual deployment. This gives you: - GitOps workflow (changes via PRs) - Policy controls on your arc infrastructure - Drift detection - Full audit trail Would you like specific guidance on setting up the context hook, or are you hitting a particular technical blocker with this approach?
