Yup! This is what I meant by "lacking compilation".

For example, in Go, you can produce a single statically linked executable and run it on the server directly. No need for a dev-ops/infra team.

Our Go code is built and tested by Jenkins. If green, the build is stored in an artefact repository. Another job is triggered to update the version in Puppet on potentially multiple targets.

The Puppet module is responsible for getting the binaries from the artefact repository, deploying them with config for the environment, running them as systemd units and shipping the journald output to Elasticsearch.

Static compilation does not obviate devops.

Sounds like you have a lot of unnecessary cruft in your infrastructure.
