How to set up front-end assembly in a small studio?

Question

Software Deployment

I'm doing frontend in a small web studio. I'm trying to figure out the mess, but I don't have enough knowledge.
How and where is the best way to build a frontend?
Task: remove builds from VCS, get rid of bundle commits.
Ideally, the developer should commit only the sources, on the server they are already assembled into a bundle on their own.
Workflow: local machine → test site → production site, all via GitLab.
Everything is on containers, but how they work is understood in the studio by two and a half people.
I am ready to do all this myself, but I don’t know at all which way to dig. A cursory google brought up nothing.
Tell us how such processes are organized in your country?
Particularly interested in the experience of small studios.
I will also be grateful for useful articles on the topic.
Chats and communities where you can still ask this question are also welcome.

raise some kind of continuous integration server. if you don’t need much, then in principle anyone will go: the same jenkins or teamcity. by the way, you have a gitlab, it should have its own ci out of the box
