I'm just...stuck. Every aspect seems to have 10 layers of dependencies, and I can't even start to crack it, even though I have my site up, and resume perfectly functional. I even got CI/CD working for the front end, but I can't figure out how to start on it for the back end. All the research I've done has landed at long descriptions of choosing terraform vs SAM, then says 'so I just used terraform, wrote the YAML, and boom' How do I start doing this?? It's aggravating because the site is up and working perfectly, but I feel like I can't say I completed the challenge without the back end CI/CD piece.

to clarify, you haven't done IaC for both front end and back end right? what does the CI/CD for your front end look like?
if you're comfortable you can share a github link if you're using github actions for ci/cd

I did get CI/CD going for the front end using codesuite: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dtconsole/latest/userguide/connections-create-github.html

could you explain a bit more about how you're using it?

??I have the front end code in dreamweaver, when I make an update, I save it to my machine, then do a commit to git. that adds it to git and it magically updates the site.

That "magically" part is important to understand for the challenge. You should start with looking into how those changes are being built and reflected on your live website after you push a commit.
