I have built a large serverless project in AWS using lambda, api gateway, IAM, dynamodb, s3, etc.

The problem is that I have built everything in the management console. And I now realize that I have to start working in stages (especially since I'm hiring staff to help me code).

The project consists of 95 Lambda functions, lots of IAM policies, linked to APIs etc. Rebuilding the structure using CDK-coding feels like a huge project. Do you guys have any other suggestions?

I have been in a similar situation where I had setup something from the console and haven't been able to completely rebuild it using CDK.

I think you might like this tool: former2.com

fomer2 can scan your aws account and list down the resources created. You can then select what you want and build an output like CloudFormation template or CDK.

From a best practice perspective , I suggest you create a Read only user and use it in former2 for scanning your account.

If you have doubt about former2, you can find it referenced in AWS blog in 2020.

This tool really helped me many times.
