If well done, it saves manual work and increases the quality of the product. On the other side, it takes time to maintain the set of tests to be executed and checked, which of course is essential.

And for some projects, never do this.

My best example was a 28 day project. It was a tight budget and deadline so I was to hop on, get it done and on day 28 never spend another dime on it.

There was no room in the budget for CI/CD.

Result: Others in the company wanted to do more review (even if the project was done, closed and working) so who would pay me to do this work. I agreed to more reviews if they would find the money. Yup, the folk that wanted more reviews on a project they weren’t involved in didn’t come up with the money.

The project was a remote control dongle. Finished in 28 days and never needed updates. A classic example of where you don’t burden a project with automation etc.
