> Operationally if you can control deployment and you don't need many servers, deploying to the base operating system makes sense. Docker/Kubernetes shine when you have scale + need to provision many servers across different platform providers.

On that same note... when do Terraform / Ansible start to make sense?

I have found that Ansible is necessary if you have more than one server and useful even for less than one (eg managing a service account on an old legacy shared machine owned by another team).

I use terraform mainly for provisioning infrastructure (how many VMs on which platform, how many databases etc) while Ansible for configuring the software side of the deployment - like the dependencies, which version of code to pull, configuring nginx, cache etc
