I'm not sure if I understand your tool correctly.

Do you generate Terraform code based on the AWS account, to help with a migration to Terraform?

Or is it that your platform works in that it "compiles" whatever is created in it to Terraform, to be run by the user on their AWS account? In other words, it's kind of a GUI DSL for Terraform?

The latter, yes. The former is a feature on the roadmap. Our idea is to make it as easy as possible for the user to take advantage of IaC without having to learn it. Remove the entry barrier, give a nice UI that would make it super easy to do the basic stuff, which is like 90% of what's needed on a day-to-day basis. For the remaining 10% the user has full control over underlying Terraform. So you can customise only the parts that need to be custom; that's much easier than starting from scratch.
