Is there a better way to handle JSON policy documents (thinking AWS IAM, bucket policies here) than just a huge mangled string?

you can use `json.Marshal(...)` like this - <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/e942d6130cd402d48db56889581ce2db1879803f/aws-go-appsync/main.go#L33-L44>

I generally tend to define the structs explicitly rather than `map[string]interface{}`
<https://github.com/jaxxstorm/iac-in-go/blob/master/eks/kubeConfig.go> <@U01H8EG7MLL>

I'll take a look at both of these - thank you.

<@UDEJ1F5SQ> we should add some overlays for this stuff I think

An overlay is like a helper method built into the SDK that abstracts some of this pain away

Handy tool for generating the structs: <https://mholt.github.io/json-to-go/>

as a third approach, i’ve been using Go templates: <https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gwatts/pulutil/template/#example-NewJSON>

combining the explicit struct or map approach with a library to handle the json + apply might be a nice half-way measure perhaps
