Manual approach
Day 0 to Day 2—from planning to production—is a full team effort, covering everything from architecture and topology to CI/CD, typically spanning several months of coordinated work.
Stacktic approach
Stacktic automates by design the entire Day 0–2 lifecycle—from architecture and planning to topology deployment and operations.
