we are trying to grow our infrastructure but running into configuration headache

Our small team has been scaling our backend and adding new services, but lately we hve realized our architecture is getting very messy. We started with one region and one VPC and now ended up with multiple accounts, environments and scripts we barely understand tbh

Rule 9: No Low Effort Posts, Excessive Venting, or Bragging.
Using this subreddit to crowd source answers to something that isn't really contributing to the spirit of this subreddit is forbidden at moderator's discretion. This includes posts that are mostly focused around venting or bragging; both of these types of posts are difficult to moderate and don't contribute much to the subreddit.

This is a bit of an IAC issue. We run our service across multiple accounts consistently and can redeploy in any region.
Are you using IAC like Terraform or similar?

Splitting everything into multiple accounts or heavy organization structures sounds good in theory, but it can easily add more confusion if the team is small. Sometimes a simpler setup with clear naming and boundaries works better than trying to replicate large enterprise architectures too early. The main issue usually isn’t the structure itself, it’s how fast it evolves without being validated as it grows and how those changes affect the system over time.
