i recently started and kinda agree?
my setup before was just build and scp
now it takes like 3 mins for a deploy: i haven’t setup caching for builds etc. but that feels like a self made problem
my proj is pretty simple so thats probably why

We're using the github hosted runners for pull requests and builds... the build process with build and attach .zip files into a release and the deploy process runs on self-hosted runners on the target server(s). Tests for PRs takes about 2-4min depending on how long it takes to queue the job. Build/Bundling takes about 3-5 minutes. The final deploys are under a minute.
The biggest thing for me is to stay as hands off from the deployed servers as possible. Having done a lot of govt and banking work, it's just something I work pretty hard to separate myself from. Automating all the things and staying as hands off as I can. Currently doing direct deploys, but would rather be deploying containers.
