Every high level programming language fits the same description. So that in itself is not inherently bad.
My problem with this product is selling you the idea that you can evade the responsibility of properly managing your AWS account.
- igorzij 5y agoIts a very understandable viewpoint. We believe that you not only can - you should. It may sound a bit utopian today, but look at what these managed cloud services really are: the new hardware. You had to manage every piece of hardware yourself in a mainframe system, because how else? Until you didn't have to. It's just so wasteful to require people do all this semi-manual work. It doesn't make any sense frankly. It has very little to do with the actual products people are building. Sooner or later in such arrangements higher-level concepts emerge and establish themselves. Just like web frameworks most recently, or hardware abstractions (drivers) in operating systems much earlier.
