It's a hybrid hosted model -you supply your own workers (they provide a CFN template to make that part easy), everything else (e.g. web UI/API) is hosted
We consolidated users into a bastion account, ran into annoyances with CFN, and have been using iamy ever since for change management across all our accounts (more of a writeup at https://99designs.com.au/tech-blog/blog/2015/10/26/aws-vault...)
I've found depending on how strict your change management policies are, IAM creds can collect cruft over time as people push new policies in ad-hoc. So iamy is handy for such a situation
- iamy can sync in both directions - pull and push IAM config. So you can easily pull down the ad-hoc changes
- In order to use CFN you need to have access, so there is a chicken-egg scenario if you want to manage ALL users in config
- iamy gives you a nice execution plan of aws cli commands, CFN can be opaque
And iamy does ignore any resource managed by CFN, so it works well as complimentary tool.

It was OK for a while with a small codebase, but the problem is that you need to give up your simple direct Go code for magic reflection.
I discovered there are better and more idiomatic ways to do this type if thing without resorting to dependency injection.
This is useful for example, to ensure that users don't try and spoof each other's usernames. Simply create and store a skeleton string for each username, and keep a unique constraint on it
