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/...

- 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.
