Just like the headline suggested, is it too big to implement devOps on a private application I'm solely developing. I mean creating the pipelines, continuous testing and continuous deployment.

And if I must do it for learning purpose which is the main intent. Is it fun to carry out? How's the learning curve and won't I waste too much of my development time? I'm curious enough to go down the rabbit hole.

    Devops is an organization pattern, if you're alone on your project there's not much point in organizing yourself. Having a ci/cd to do the unit and integration tests and then deploy is just automating the lifecycle of your app. You apply devops methodology to a team, not a project.

    DevOps is a culture that aims to make software development better. It's not just an enterprise buzzword.

The question you need to answer is "would I find it entertaining to set up a CI/CD environment if not to learn from it then just for the fun of it?". You may not need it at this point in your project or it may benefit you. That I can't tell from the limited information. Linux started as a personal project, too. I set up something similar for my own pet project and I've gotta admit I feel a little bit proud every time I compile and deploy with a single click.

Should you implement it? That's for you to decide.
