Really? even before github actions, circleCI did that sort of thing.

Gitlab's runners are nice an easy to configure. Plus all CI/CD is fancy bash with some git triggers.

FT.com used to deploy either directly through heroku to prod, or later via circleCI, and that was in 2015.

Yeah, I can't imagine being a small team building a SaaS and not having 'deploy-on-merge' set up within the first few weeks.

I completely agree. I really worded this poorly. I was trying to say it’s great to have CI/CD to production. There are places I’ve worked who don’t have it due to their bureaucracy/regulation/security. Not because we don’t know how it set it up
