Bringing DevOps to IndieHacking

I love the IndieHacking movement, and I noticed that there are people saying that they just edit their files on their servers, and that’s how they deploy their application. If some say it, they’re not the only ones to do it. Since I’m an SRE by day, I’m wondering if there would not be a way to bring some of the methods of my work to the world of IndieHacking. ...

I always have had a lot of ideas, but as soon as I started working on one, I found that: Someone else already did something very similar It is much harder than I anticipated I don’t know where to start I don’t know that I am the right person to do it Now, I know that all of those are just excuses, and that until I persist in one idea for at least a few months, very consistently, I will not really be able to see any results. Maybe a few comments here and there, a few people that will like what I did, but nothing concrete. ...
