> do you mean you don’t have an automated build/deploy mechanism? If something is very simple, it’s normally also very simple to automate.
Absolutely. Making things simple also synergizes very well with automation.
We actually have written an in-house system that can build our software and package it up to AWS S3 buckets for final delivery. This is something used more frequently by project managers to create releases for customers. Developers usually prefer to run builds out of VS2022 for the special ad-hoc cases and other non-customer unicorn targets (i.e. internal admin dashboards).
The point is that the whole thing is so simple in aggregate that we don't need engineers spending dedicated time worrying about how it all fits together. One basic msbuild command and you have a release folder you can zip up and send to the customer (or extract to some internal QA system).
