Rent-A-Ref vs Spacelift

Rent-A-Ref connects leagues, coaches and sports enthusiasts w/ referees for their sports event.

Rent-A-Ref is a service that connects leagues, coaches and sports enthusiasts with referees for their sports league or event.

Rent-A-Ref will be releasing an On-Demand platform where the Requester (someone who needs a referee) can provide information and Request Referees for their sports league, event or a pickup game + Pre-Pay for the referee services. This helps the customer (Requester in this scenario) worry less about finding a qualified Referee(s) and concentrate more on planning out the logistics for the event.

On the other end, the Referee (someone who is looking for games) can receive games whenever they are available, based on their location and experience. This allows the Referee to work whenever they want to and make spending cash.

It's a solution that fits both worlds (The Requester and The Referee) because they complement one another. There is a shortage of Referees due to not knowing what games are available, & Requester is always looking for Referees but never know where to find them.

The most flexible management platform for Infrastructure as Code

Spacelift is the most flexible management platform for Infrastructure as Code that helps DevOps teams manage their infrastructure-as-code performance for maximum optimization of scaling businesses.

Founded in 2020, Spacelift allows teams to manage complex cloud infrastructures simultaneously, providing visibility and collaboration. It’s a hybrid of super-specialized, narrowly focused IaC automation tools and very generic CI/CDs like Jenkins or CircleCI. Thanks to Spacelift, teams are able to boost their productivity, automate manual processes, and ensure control and compliance.

Spacelift is the only IaC management solution that extends IaC DevOps to encompass the complete set of IaC frameworks including Terraform, Pulumi, and CloudFormation, with Ansible coming soon. Offering a consolidated approach to IaC is beneficial to engineering teams in large corporations that have been acquiring smaller companies that bring different infrastructures and to smaller but diverse organizations aiming to empower application developers.

Spacelift works with any IaC setup and is capable of working as a self-hosted agent on your infrastructure, therefore offering maximum security without sacrificing functionality. Our solution is built on top of well-known and well-loved open source components like Docker and Open Policy Agent, allowing full customization while maintaining sensible defaults.

We have raised over $22M in funding to advance the automation, control and scalability of infrastructure as code. Among our investors are Insight Partners, Blossom Capital, Hoxton Ventures, Inovo Venture Partners, and the founders of Supercell and Yelp.
