Show HN: Inherit – Zero to Iac

Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

inherit is a Go binary that scans an existing AWS account using read-only APIs and generates a complete OpenTofu/Terraform project with import blocks, enabling teams to reverse-engineer infrastructure-as-code from a running environment. It handles secrets redaction, multi-region resources, and provides both safe and fast import modes. This addresses a common pain point for teams inheriting undocumented cloud infrastructure.

Target audience: devops engineers, backend developers, cloud infrastructure teams
