Stategraph Orchestration review
A CI-based drift tool with flexible schedules, scoped checks, and optional automatic reconciliation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Stategraph Orchestration runs scheduled infrastructure plans through GitHub or GitLab pull requests, using a team's CI runners to compare live infrastructure with code. It is aimed at teams that want recurring drift checks and a way to reconcile detected changes. The product supports Terraform, OpenTofu, Terragrunt, Pulumi, and CDKTF, with deployment options for cloud or self-hosting. Its open-source status and free plan make it accessible to teams that want to evaluate scheduled drift workflows before paying.
Scheduling and scope are central strengths. Teams can run plans hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, set time windows and time zones, and target checks by tag query, directory, or workspace. When drift appears, Orchestration can open a GitHub or GitLab issue containing affected resources and a reconciliation plan. It can also send notifications through Slack or custom scripts. Because runs use existing GitHub Actions or GitLab CI runners, it fits teams already operating in those environments; it is less suited to teams seeking an independent runner or a different workflow platform.
The Free plan includes all Orchestration features, drift detection, GitHub and GitLab support, and community support. Orchestration Pro costs $12,000 per year, billed annually, and adds unlimited users, runs, and concurrent workers, Stategraph Cloud or self-hosted deployment, 365-day audit retention, priority support by email and Slack, and an onboarding session. Automatic reconciliation is a consequential tradeoff: it applies generated plans without manual review or approval workflows. Choose it when scheduled reconciliation and issue-based visibility fit your operating model; teams requiring approval gates before infrastructure changes should look elsewhere.
