I'm not sure what you mean. You still instantiate resources with serverless products. With an AWS Lambda function, you go to the Lambda web console, click "Create a function," and type in the code for that function (of course this can also done via the AWS API). There's no mind-reading going on. For AWS Aurora, you still go to the RDS web console, click "Create a database," choose Aurora as the database engine, etc.
- samhw 4y agoI was joking, with that particular sentence. My point was that there is someone managing the server irrespective, and that there's not a particularly clear metaphysical distinction between 'create my database in this way' and 'instruct someone else to create my database in this way'. Not in the computing world, where everything's already under 17 layers of abstraction.
