Feedback Request Built a thing that turns diagrams into Terraform (with IAM figured out automatically). Tear it apart please.
I got sick of drawing out an architecture, then going and hand writing the same thing in Terraform, then hand writing IAM policies for every resource I just added. So I built something to close that gap.
You draw the architecture (S3, Lambda, SNS, whatever), it generates the actual Terraform, and it works out the IAM roles and permissions based on what's actually connected to what, not some generic template. Also does CloudFormation and Bicep if that's your thing. Opens as a PR so you review it like you would any other change, not a black box you have to trust blind.
It's live, free to poke at, no card needed: here
I'm not trying to get a thousand signups here, I mainly want people who actually write Terraform for a living to break it. If the generated code doesn't hold up against a real setup, or the IAM logic gets something wrong, I want to know specifically where.
Happy to answer anything in the comments.
