Re:Can cloud infrastructure become truly automatic?

I think this is an interesting idea. The closest thing to this that I can think of is Terraform, but that's declarative, rather than automatic. I think what you're proposing would have a lot of challenges. Maybe you could make it work in the JS world with npm/maven; but I think it would be very difficult to make it automatic enough for a broad enough collection of languages and frameworks to be sufficiently useful. That said, I'd like to see where it goes, so good luck if you do attempt something.

Hi @garettmd. Thanks for your encouraging words. I have a working solution for Javascript and node applications here @ https://plugins.quadnix.com/ and here https://www.youtube.com/embed/-8jaCIbZ2Is
For every application you launch in this platform, the infra is being generated on the fly.
So far things have not gone that complicated because I am heavily using docker and simple apps just need an apache/node server on front to work.
But I have plans to add support for database and logs, and those could become little complicated.
I also accept your point that not all frameworks can be supported, but lets just start with few and see how far we can take it.
If you are a developer, would you be willing to try it out?
