  • terraformer

    CLI tool to generate terraform files from existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform). Infrastructure to Code

    This is cool, but kinda like TF on hard mode. I would have used something like this for a larger initial infra import: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer. Only time I would use terraform import itself is if I were importing a smaller set of resources, like no more than 5.

  • aws-vault

    A vault for securely storing and accessing AWS credentials in development environments

    I suggest storing them in your password manager and exporting them as envvars when you need them. Alternatively, you may look into something like 99designs/aws-vault. But mostly anything is better than plaintext credentials on disk.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
