terraform
Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
In this post, I will share WebRTC.ventures' best practices in automating the deployment of AI-powered voice assistants for Amazon Connect, moving beyond manual, click-by-click setups to a robust, scalable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach. We’ll explore how to manage both static and dynamic resources, leverage tools like Terraform and AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM), and even set up an automated deployment pipeline using Github Actions to deploy your conversational IVR solutions efficiently.

terraformer
CLI tool to generate terraform files from existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform). Infrastructure to Code
Project mention: Using Terraform Workspace for AWS multi account archtetctures | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-04The Terraformer tool was the biggest blessing when I had to reverse engineer our AWS stack into .tf modules.
Shoutout to the Waze team for creating it!
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer
We built out a large serverless stack on AWS, and we got a request from higher ups to convert it all into Terraform modules for portability and transparency purposes.
The Terraformer tool pulled in the entire stack and spit out the whole thing into tf files in less than 30 seconds.
Everyone was super impressed on the team lol.

Project mention: Show HN: Koreo – The platform engineering toolkit for Kubernetes | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-10
I thought Crossplane v2 was only a design proposal at the moment: https://github.com/crossplane/crossplane/pull/6255
But I guess there is an actual preview implementation now? https://docs.crossplane.io/v2.0-preview/
The comparison on Kro would definitely be good to include as there are quite a few similarities. I can write up more on how it compares in a bit.

copilot-cli
The AWS Copilot CLI is a tool for developers to build, release and operate production ready containerized applications on AWS App Runner or Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate.
Wow, this speaks to me.
The best that I've found, in general, is to:
1. Keep the system architecture as simple as possible to meet the needs of the application; don't add infra where you do not absolutely need it
2. If you must add infra, do it using the highest level abstraction possible.
On AWS, (the unfortunately named) Copilot CLI[0] is fantastic and feels like the "just right" level of abstraction for a lot of use cases and also feels incredibly ergonomic in daily use while offering enough flexibility to plugin custom CDK or CF if needed.
Highly, highly recommend AWS Copilot for any teams build on AWS; dramatically simplified deployment and infra for us at previous startup.
