One could argue that if you are at the stage of "provisioning a server", then you should be using something like Terraform or Pulumi, not configuration tools like the one I mentioned. Anyway, for the specific case of "deploying to hetzner": - ansible has a whole collection of modules for hetzner: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/hetzner/hcloud/index.html https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/hetzner/... - For Nix, there is NixOps - if no one in the team wants to learn any of that, Hetzner provides a CLI to interact with their whole cloud. To repeat: the last thing I'd want from an application is to have its own deployment system.
