DevOps/Deployment a little overwhelming for a beginner?

Hey all,I'm sure this question has been asked an answered hundreds of times, but I'd like to be a bit more specific for my use case.A little background, I am a Front End developer (circa 5 years, with 4 years of College), recently been building React projects. I have little to no backend or DevOps Experience (Other than seeing some jargon/services and briefly looking at a synopsis of what they are).I've recently been building a MERN stack application and have done a few tutorials on Udemy/FrontEndMasters to get to grips of backend development with Node (Which I am really enjoying and feel like I am learning a lot).However when it comes to the DevOps/Deploying side of things, I feel completely out of my depth with most of it, like, it seems so much more complicated/contrasting than just writing some code, also seems like there a lot of branching paths that can lead you down a rabbit hole.Any of the courses I have followed on Node development have detailed a reasonably basic deploy to Heroku without really delving into what I feel would be the real industry standards on deploying a Node.js application.Which leaves me in a scenario where I feel like there is a huge mountain of knowledge that I am missing out on and not sure where to look. Such as CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Deploying to the likes of Digital Ocean/AWS/Azure etc.I get that DevOps isn't just one specific thing, but would like to know where to even start learning about DevOps in the Node.js world, any time I've tried to delve into research on this topic I get overwhelmed. Perhaps, it just isn't for me? 😂I guess my question comes in 2 parts.Are there any really good courses out there on more advanced deployment/DevOps so I can get my toes in the water? I prefer watching a video of someone talking through a topic rather then reading an article, but if there are some fantastic articles out there, would love to have a read through them too.What does your current DevOps/Deployment Strategy consist of with your Node.js projects? (Just so I can get a list of topics/services etc. to look into at a later date).Any help would be greatly appreciated!
