I've noticed that if I'm getting inadequate sleep, yes, motivation and concentration are in limited supply. But if I'm working on a project non-stop, and I have that momentum, I can go without little to no sleep. ...I wouldn't push anything to prod after an allnighter though.

I'm a security engineer for a regional health system that includes 4 hospitals and numerous clinics. This is absolutely true and so much worse. I was dragged into a bridge line with Cerner and had to explain to one of their System Engineers how to create a certificate. I had to walk him through everything. I've seen other vendors install EMS solutions that left very insecure intranet portals open to the world. I've found vulnerabilities in software and technology stacks, made a case with the vendor only to have them deny it and then attempt to make changes without notification. It seems rampant.
systemd nspawn containers. but you have choices. lxc/d, nspawn, docker... I've also used qemu with virsh but haven't recently had the time to set this up in my current abode. my needs are likely different than yours. I'm a security engineer/developer so I'm building a lot of tools in house ... deployment and distribution isn't as much of a concern. I don't really deal with SQL backends in the same way you might. So I can get away with building a local db or feed data into an ELK stack over VPN + SSH. I'm using openvpn btw. Currently work for a regional health services provider and generally deal with a lot of different environments. As you can imagine right now is hectic and being able to to handle dependencies for all the different tools and libraries helps stay ahead of the curveballs. Having containers and virtual environments (venv) mostly planned out keeps me from throwing my workstation out the window as well.

Now is the time to awaken your inner DevOps guru.
