  The AWS Cloud Development Kit is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code

  

I believe a real glimpse of the future you're describing can be seen with AWS CDK's L2 or higher constructs: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk

We already have the tools to have a cloud-scale application dynamically redefining and re-allocating its infrastructure. Give those tools some time to mature, and I'm sure the capabilities will be awesome.

A good example is the common database backend. A lot of groups have some RDS instance provisioned someway to somehow serve some frontend. Over time, the number of users grow and the RDS needs more resources provisioned for it. My last 4 jobs, it was always someone's job to check the provisioning or respond to an alert and bump the provisioning up to whatever the next rung was. In the not too distant future, this type of task will be handled by a mildly intelligent CDK application.
