## AI overview

The article explains how incident.io uses infrastructure as code to configure Google Cloud Platform, Spacelift, Sentry, and incident.io itself. New engineers begin by submitting an infrastructure pull request that adds their user and team, creates a Spacelift stack, grants Google Cloud resources, and adds them to the appropriate Google Groups. Terraform and a Catalog Importer then automate the remaining setup, including synchronizing team data into the Catalog product.

## Source excerpt

At incident.io we use infrastructure as code for configuring everything we can, and we feel that there's no reason we should exclude our own product from that. As well as configuring things like Google Cloud Platform, Sentry and Spacelift via our infrastructure repo, we also configure incident.io.
