Manual Provisioning vs Automated Provisioning
Developers should learn manual provisioning to understand the underlying steps and configurations involved in infrastructure setup, which is crucial for debugging and when automation is not feasible, such as in small-scale projects or legacy systems meets developers should learn automated provisioning to streamline deployment workflows, reduce human error, and accelerate time-to-market for applications. Here's our take.

Manual Provisioning
Nice PickDevelopers should learn manual provisioning to understand the underlying steps and configurations involved in infrastructure setup, which is crucial for debugging and when automation is not feasible, such as in small-scale projects or legacy systems
Pros
- +It provides foundational knowledge for transitioning to automated provisioning tools, helping to grasp concepts like server management and deployment workflows in environments where automation tools are unavailable or impractical
- +Related to: infrastructure-as-code, configuration-management
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Automated Provisioning

The Verdict
Use Manual Provisioning if: You want it provides foundational knowledge for transitioning to automated provisioning tools, helping to grasp concepts like server management and deployment workflows in environments where automation tools are unavailable or impractical and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Automated Provisioning if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in scenarios like continuous integration/continuous deployment (ci/cd), cloud infrastructure management, and multi-environment setups (e over what Manual Provisioning offers.
