Whats the best Vercel like deployment experience using your own servers? vServers or something like Hetzner Cloud

I want to quickly have PoC's up and updated via CI/CD including previews for different branches

easy view of console.log() / console.error() output would be a lovely bonus

Try feature flags instead of long lived branches and then you won’t need the branch deployment thing. It sounds counter intuitive but once you really embrace continuous deployment you’ll never go back. The branch deployment thing doesn’t work at scale anyway.

oh I only need that for previews on merge requests and the dev branch

having a dev branch + seperate master for prod is helpful when working with multiple devs

oh so minimal automated tests on merge request (PR on Github) and then just master that is synced to cluster/prod?

that sounds fun, I end up skipping dev to just master on single dev projects

one question that comes up now that I am mapping it out is how do you go for a complete redesign? thats also a feature branch that then closes?

staging environment also not needed or basically just a shortlived branch too?

one may want deployments of that to pass around to customer before going to master

Maybe a hot take (though it’s standard in “big tech”), but IMHO a dev branch is an anti-pattern, as is any long-lived branch. Going all-in on continuous deployment is the only thing that scales. (Also works well even on small teams and projects, but requires some automated tests and other practices)
