Software only gets difficult when you put it in front of customers. Writing the scripts that do this safely, consistently and without breaking your precious live deployment is a difficult and time consuming undertaking, so a number of offerings appeared that took this pain away (Heroku, AWS Beanstalk, App Engine, Firebase etc), making app deployment as simple as a single “git push”.

How do you ensure that when you unpack it and switch it on that you’re not going to bring your app down in flames?

This is your “super-spreader at the rave” situation, and you need to avoid it at all costs.
