On CI/CD

Docker-based deployments are slow and clunky, and caching is not a good way of solving it. At the same time there are tools to simplify setting up local development environments. And git works perfectly well with just SSH.

• a verified directory for SSH public keys, connecting identities to keys without managing authentication.
  • https://github.com/skariel/keypub
• dev tooling version management
  • https://mise.jdx.dev/
• A private certificate authority (X.509 & SSH) & ACME server for secure automated certificate management, so you can use TLS everywhere & SSO for SSH
  • https://github.com/smallstep/certificates

Looks like a combination of ssh git, mise, systemd and key management solution would be a minimal PaaS.

Points

• languages do a good job with virtual environments
• it's helpful rebuilding project from scratch from time to time, but really annoying on each push
• frontend builds that produce static files can be served from anywhere and should be deployable instantly
• same job done twice: build/run locally and in containers
• triggering deployment on commit makes a lot of sense, given the feedback is provided
• commits, pull request and reviews should be doable from cli
