Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Top 10 terraform tools you should know about.
Former2 is a tool that automates the creation of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) scripts from existing AWS resources. It utilizes the AWS JavaScript SDK to scan the user’s AWS infrastructure, identifying all available resources. Users can then select from this list which resources they want to include in their IaC outputs. This process simplifies the task of writing IaC scripts, especially for complex environments, by directly converting current AWS configurations into ready-to-use code. Former2 is particularly useful for documenting existing infrastructure or for migrating manually created resources into an IaC framework.

Importing multiple modules at once from AWS
You can use tools like https://github.com/cycloidio/terracognita or https://github.com/iann0036/former2 to generate the terraform code for you. Then you can consolidate them and if they are simply the same type of objects with different values then you can use terragrunt to pass values to your terraform module.
- Is there a way to turn a existing cloudformation template into a terraform file?

Overwhelmed by AWS
I have never tried out this tool, but maybe it's worth checking: you could create all the stuff via AWS Console in a sandbox environment and then try to use former2. Nothing autogenerated will ever be good enough compared to handcrafted, but it should give you a nice starting point without much effort.Such a tool can not be expected to work reliably. Thankfully, you need to cover only classic, foundational services like EC2, ELB, and IAM, so I would expect them to work properly for those use cases.

Disaster Recovery with Former2?
I've heard of a few people setting up pipelines that use the CLI with the `ALL` services option to generate inventories of their systems, but the generated template would almost certainly not work out of the box due to:
- tool to log into AWS and generate Terraform code
-
Current infrastructure as code
Not quite: a command line tool is also available: https://github.com/iann0036/former2/blob/master/cli/README.md
