You might be interested in Terraformer. https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer
The description and marketing are very mixed. It generates bespoke Terraform based on... vague descriptions? "Give me a postgres DB" seems to be the level of input from what I can tell. It then goes off to create one and give you the TF it used? I was really hoping this was "automatically generate Terraform FROM AWS" to import existing resources.
This sounds like the SaaS-ified version of Gruntwork.io, where they give you best practices templates and leave it up to you to fill in the particulars.
