I'm an experienced programmer and deploying is a clusterfuck these days. It's by far the worst part of making software

I use a mix of Firebase and AWS Copilot CLI (https://aws.github.io/copilot-cli/) depending on which platform I'm on.

Both make it pretty dead simple to deploy. AWS Copilot being the "more powerful" of the two, but still dead simple to use compared to CDK, Cloud Formation, or writing Terraform or Pulumi scripts.

I invested a couple of days to setup a K3S cluster a few years ago and I still use that for any deployment (and I deployed a few more).

I don't have to worry about cloud providers ruining my life with updates, free cloudflare in front so I get caching.

It's not too bad but there is an initial investment
