I agree. There are also options to make some of the things from the article relatively easy. Off the top of my head, a CI/CD pipeline can be set up using Gitlab , Azure DevOps, Bitbucket Pipelines, and I'm sure tons of others. They do some of the heavy lifting and you still get the benefit of an organized build that's easy to deploy to one of the services listed above. And yeah, this may be layered on later when it seems like the idea has legs and you'd benefit from this. It most likely doesn't need to be the first step.
