Naive question, not trying to lead somewhere. Back in the day we'd do a ./configure && make install on some server and we'd be up and running to kick the tires. It's been a long time since I have done this - my career went off in other directions - and so I am curious if web app authors are providing automatic serverless deploy plans that are just as easy to run as that ./configure experience from much earlier. (I know configure scripts still exist, but they are largely satisfied by OS providers for users like me)
