Hi @Raymond_Sellars indeed that is the path we are taking and you are correct, we are starting on the more devops and CI/CD side of things and will progressively move towards adding this capability within the admin. Below is a small sample repo I created after I grilled some of our engineers and product managers on their vision for the future of DEITS and where we would like to go.
As Strapi moves forward we are starting to be more iterative in the way we build things and instead of spending months building out huge monsters of features we are starting to develop a longer term plan for features and then we break that plan into smaller bite sized chunks that are rolled out and released iteratively over time. DEITS was one of the first features we have actually started to put this in practice.
