> Well, how do you indicate to it that you want to create a database? Does the database read your mind too?

I'm not sure what you mean. You still instantiate resources with serverless products. With an AWS Lambda function, you go to the Lambda web console, click "Create a function," and type in the code for that function (of course this can also done via the AWS API). There's no mind-reading going on. For AWS Aurora, you still go to the RDS web console, click "Create a database," choose Aurora as the database engine, etc.
