If I’m understanding you correctly, I think you want CloudFormation?

Thank you again for this direction!

I just finished a POC that generates 90% of the AWS services I use per client/project/application. The remaining 10% is DNS stuff that I can easily do by hand, but with a few clicks I get everything provisioned with much less human error (buckets, Lambdas, API Gateways, Cloudfront distributions, etc.)

The formation definition is ~1000 lines of JSON, but it explicitly describes everything I need and it takes in parameters - it's wonderful! Thank you again!

Thanks, AWS CloudFormation looks like what I've experienced with other cloud service providers.

There is also AWS Cloud Development Kit, which generates CloudFormation from Typescript, C#, Java, or Python.

The other alternative is terraform:
