The concept of a “develop” branch here isn’t really a requirement to have a branch deploy. Most CI I’ve used let you pick any tag/commit/branch to run on - so nothing stopping you just deploying your feature branch without having a special branch for it.

The trunk (i.e main/master) is the only branch you should really be collaborating on, otherwise you’re going to end up with painful, long-live branches with that are messy to integrate.
