    New Pipeline Approvals & Portal Controls

    May 26, 2026

    We are pleased to announce a major update to STACKIT Git & Pipelines, introducing enhanced security controls, pipeline governance, and advanced identity management features directly from the STACKIT Portal.

    Pipeline Governance: Protected Workflows & Approvers

    To ensure higher resilience and meet enterprise change management standards, we have introduced Pipeline Approvers. Empower your team to ensure the highest quality standards by enabling designated members to review and authorize critical deployment pipelines before execution. There are two ways to implement this functionality depending on your setup:

    • Manual Workflow Approval: A seamless UI-driven configuration within the STACKIT Portal to pause workflows and require manual validation before moving to high-risk deployment stages.
    • Split workflow: Configure your code in two different files, so you get the same final behaviour but with less customization.

    Advanced Identity & Access Management (IAM)

    We have significantly improved user life cycle management and access security:

    • Identity Provider (IdP) Integration: Connect your corporate Identity Provider directly to your STACKIT Git instance to automate user onboarding and federation.
    • Local vs. Technical User Creation: Administrators can now differentiate between standard internal users (Local) and automated automation tokens/accounts (Technical Users), reducing the risk of unauthorized privilege escalation.

    Network & administrative controls from the Portal

    You no longer need to manage advanced configuration with API or backend support requests. The STACKIT Portal now offers full self-service capabilities for:

    • IP Address Whitelisting (ACL Control): Secure your Git repositories by restricting inbound and outbound traffic to trusted enterprise network ranges directly from the instance network settings.
    • User Admin Management: Complete control over user permissions, seat allocations, and project visibility through a unified administrative panel.

    STACKIT Pipelines: Introducing STACKIT-managed Runners

    Mar 17, 2026

    We are excited to announce the integration of STACKIT-managed Runners into STACKIT Git, significantly enhancing your Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflows. This new feature automates and validates your code changes, new features, and critical bug fixes without manual intervention, all within your STACKIT environment.

    Key Highlights:

    • Automated & Scalable CI/CD: STACKIT-managed Runners automatically provision, run, and de-provision based on your code pushes or specific events, ensuring efficient and scalable pipeline run.
    • High GitHub Actions Compatibility: Enjoy approximately 90% compatibility with GitHub Actions, allowing you to leverage existing workflows with minimal adjustments.
    • Secure isolated environments: Every job is running in a completely isolated disk, making sure no leaks to other jobs or instances occur.
    • Broad Development Environment Support: We support popular development environments including Java, Node.js, Salesforce, Go, and Python, with a variety of in-docker images for diverse use cases.
    • Deep STACKIT Ecosystem Integration: Experience seamless and secure integration with other STACKIT services, such as STACKIT Secret Manager. Your code and services remain within the STACKIT Network, enhancing security and speed by avoiding public internet access.
    • Comprehensive Logging & Security: Detailed logs provide insights for pipeline optimization, and sensitive information is automatically obscured for your security.
    • Direct Integration with STACKIT Container Registry: Build and push images directly to the STACKIT Container Registry, streamlining your software development lifecycle within STACKIT.

    This release marks a significant step towards centralizing your entire SDLC within the STACKIT ecosystem.
