Unpopular answer alert, but it worked well for my context for the few years before I hired a team. I didn’t do CI/CD. I just reviewed my own code the next day, improved it and put it live. As the only dev I knew more or less how my code worked and what risk factors to prepare for in each deploy, and serious, business-impacting production issues were rare. A simple stack of Meteor on Galaxy + Mongo on Atlas meant all my tools integrated well together and a whole lot of devops things were easy enough that I rarely had to think about them after they were set up once. I can think of many cases where this would not work but it worked well for my context.
