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.

Should I implement Devops on a small project. Is it too big for it?

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.

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?".
