I agree with you. The problem is that individuals and small teams adopts enterprise best practices not realizing that smaller scale solutions might work better.

I agree with you. The problem is that individuals and small teams adopts enterprise best practices not realizing that smaller scale solutions might work better. On my own projects I even deploy with cca 200 lines of Bash. It's super super fast, I understand every bit of it and can fix things quickly. You should move to containers/CD/immutable infra when it makes sense to you and your project. But as someone already mentioned you can make containers fast as well. Anyway if anybody is interested in actually understanding the basics of deployment I am writing a book on this topic called Deployment from Scratch[0]. I am also looking for beta readers.
