So you just have the dns record pointing to your machine's IP?
Do you have some kind of monitoring? What about logging?

I'm guessing you're OK with the tradeoff of your machine going down sometimes?
How was managed a new deployment ? Could anyone push a new version ? Did it go through CI/CD ?
And about CI/CD, did you have something vaguely resembling it ? Was it all hosted ?

Yes, you would probably not need something more complex in that case, but then again, some companies with 5 devs start with microservices
What do you mean by emotional tools ?
I completely agree with you on that. However, the wait time is usually not enough for me to really switch tasks for an other "productive" one, because when my pipeline is done, I would just need to switch back, and it really would make it painful.
The option I see about that however, is jotting down ideas for testing later. But then you need to get the time for this optimization, and the optimization will also require you to wait while you test if the result is better.
I know that there is not silver bullet, I'm just trying to make the situation better for me and others in the team
It does not seem to do more than something like PagerDuty or OpsGenie, in that there is no integrated way to run specific actions on rotation.
But I did not know that GitLab did that, thanks for the link !
Do you know of any other small companies blog ?
