Yup. Docker helps with this. As can e.g. cloud9 or codespaces. If I read it correct, this is the main reason Github moved there[0] But I consider that a workaround. When the tooling gets so complex that you need more (complex) tooling to help manage that, the problem lies deeper. Compare it to e.g. Go or Rust. Where you (or a CI) builds something and deployment literally can be a `scp target/release/foobar foobar.com:/usr/bin && ssh foobar.com systemctl restart foobar`. I say this as someone who has been hosting Rails apps for decades: it sucks and it is hard. I have a full-blown Rails hosting (ansible, Digital Ocean, Linode and some more) but still often grab a Heroku or do the docker-dance, because some edgecase is causing havoc.
