I'm looking for some "best practices" docs and maybe "playbooks" for these common scenarios(?): 1. RDS with SSM or IAM, passing a connect string to a lambda (or, ideally, to expressjs or NextJS) 2. Basically anything Cognito

I looked through that. Every RDS example I found used explicit-password. And I didn't see anything cognito in there

I don't know, there are lots more examples on the internet

I know. I've spent about 4 hours over the last 2 days searching for them. That's why I asked here :)

I've been fighting with pulumi examples for the last 4 weeks dude.

darn, so it's not just me

look at the date of most of them, 3 years old.

ouch! Pulumi has a pretty aggressive sales team. I expected the documentation to match

they do a fine job with limited resources. its also open source 😉

true, that's always a fair statement.
