Try Terraform or CDK. I like Terraform scales better, but there are some real foot-gun gotchas with it. You do need "depends_on" https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/meta-argu... for efficient large-scale deployments and certain networking situations, it's also really awkward with high-level AWS abstractions such as Organizations, but otherwise solid tech.

CDK (atm) as limitations and it's also got a more imperative model. It's touted as being more familiar as it has multiple language support, but I don't think shoehorning declarative context into imperative languages works well.
