We could get somewhere where clouds can provide a framework of secure primitives that act as a framework.

E.g. you build an app, it stores data via api etc. etc. You can test in sandbox. The cloud deploys for customer who paid you via that cloud and you work at arms length. You may not even know their name. You just get the pro subscription fees.

The idea bubbling in my head would be an app store for cloud products. But with competition i.e. you use Railway or Heroku or AWS for the best deal.

Be gentle this is an idea in my head I am sure it can be torn down by a retort at this stage. But this exists in forms and I think it will emerge. It is inversion of control at the entire app level.

This is similar to buying a hammer. If you make hammers you sell them to a store, the store knows the customer and only the customer can see the nails.

Legal risk is what insurance is for. You get ensured for a small fee and you go about your job. That's how the non-software world operates anyway
