This is a really strong argument. At the end of the day I think it is possible (with iteration) to get the level of abstraction correct for something approaching some semblance of the universality you refer to.

I really just want a framework that allows me to:

1) Run locally like Next.js's "npm run dev"

2) Do end-to-end unit tests because the framework provides the abstraction layer

3) Deploy to the cloud via push to Github and have it run exactly the same as (1), but do it at scale (deploy to serverless functions, use actual SQS Queues, Eventbridge, etc.)

Of course the core would a developer experience like Vercel, Stripe, etc.

Check out Amplify! I've heard good things and my limited experience is good so far. (Although running locally isn't the best, unfortunately... but that's always going to be an issue the more you lean on a cloud services.) Deployments are easy. In terms of scalability, it's all massively scalable AWS services under the hood, and it seems relatively easy to "eject" if you ever need to.

Once u have enough experience in AWS tooling world, Amplify is probably the last one you want to use for your product, just so unpolished…..
