@wmf I should have explained better in my post that I am not talking about automating an existing AWS/Google infrastructure. What other companies are doing is they are generating automated scripts which will create an infrastructure for you and then you maintain it.
What I am proposing is a new PaaS service which will parse your configuration and create an infrastructure on demand, publish your application in that infrastructure and send you a working link back. The developer does not have to interact with the infrastructure at all.
- wmf 8y agoRight, that sounds cool but also dangerous in the sense that I could write code that requires excessive infrastructure under the hood without realizing it (just like people pull in 10,000 npm packages).
- rash805115 8y agoYes, but for this specific scenario I can monitor usage of each service and alert them. But I understand your concern in a broader sense that there are a lot of unknowns and people can do some real damage. But we can start small and see how it goes. Question is do you feel humanity should take a step in this direction to automate infra this way or it just too crazy?
