The author describes their experience with deployments over the past few decades, starting with manual file copying and tracking changes, moving on to deploying large Java applications with build scripts and release notes, then deploying Scala applications bundled in Docker, and finally deploying a Golang application as a single binary file.
The Golang application includes embedded configurations, static files, and HTML templates, and is deployed by simply copying the binary to the server and starting it with Systemd, which also manages the app's restarts and security.
The author appreciates the simplicity and manageability of this approach and notes that others have also expressed enthusiasm for it. The author also mentions using SQLite for the app's small use case, and plans to integrate it using lifefs.
