How do I get continuous deployments without k8s? I value being able to deploy new code quickly, easily and fearless, especially in high speed low drag environments like startups. I don't see how I can do GitOps like workflows with any other tools that have the same large mindshare and breath of commercial, managed offerings.

you can do continuous deployments with anything lol, hell you can do CD with a runner and an ssh key lol

I'm not saying this is right for you or anyone else, but I just use a repo with some ansible / terraform in it. The repo has a CI job which runs the IaC and jobs done. Kubernetes does have a few tools which take this out of your hands but I guess the trade off is a few scripts you have to manage vs the complexity of kubernetes.
