AWS Lens: A Local-First Desktop Workspace for Terraform and AWS Operations

If you spend enough time in AWS, your workflow usually ends up split across too many surfaces. You review infrastructure in the AWS Console, switch accounts with local profiles or assume-role, manage Terraform from a terminal, inspect drift with a mix of plan, state, and manual checks, and keep a growing pile of scripts around for the gaps. None of those tools are bad on their own, but the overall operator experience is fragmented. That is the problem I built AWS Lens to address.
