Should SDKs/APIs automatically create cloud resources when called if they don't exist?

Does that mean you have to make calls (so write boilerplate code) to make sure they exist!?

The opposite. I'm saying you would never have to do that.

But did you see the rest of my thread? If all you have are cloud primitives that scale to zero cost then why not?

I did. It’s never zero cost in the long run though is it?

disagree. I've got plenty of old cloud resources that are costing me nothing at this moment. The only cost is my pride when I open the UI and am reminded of all my failed-to-launch ideas.

Haha good point if they’re not used like a queue

That's where I'm going with this. What if all resources could scale to zero. What if a cloud provider only offered that. What would the dev experience look like? I think it could be awesome.
