Well. It's all about a golden mean. As usual. The mindset shouldn't be about building an ideal infrastructure, but it should be about having a reliable infrastructure instead. It surely doesn't required to have every brand cool thing which was advertised on HN within last 2 weeks. But fully automated pipeline for code delivery and configuration as code is essential. It doesn't require that much time (especially if you reuse one of thousands example from github), but it will save you later. Even for a single node in linode. Even though it won't help you to build new features and attract new users, just think about as a necessary action to keep your existing users. Nobody wants to use the thing which isn't available because a developer messed up with deployment command, didn't notice it and left home.
