As a piece of feedback, having a large section of concrete Cloudformation examples (both JSON and YAML) would be really, really helpful. There are a lot of examples in AWS' documentation, but they are often somewhat contrived or limited and don't show exactly how disparate services would necessarily fit together and interact. Newer services are often lacking examples, or have only very simple and contrived examples.
And there's very little out there on what the best approach to architect and organize cloudformation is. We're left to kind of take a guess and make it up as we go along. So a section on syntax, architecture, and organization best practices would also be awesome.

They are all cloudformation and are more complex set ups than the standard documentation. See for example the data lake cloudformation yaml: https://github.com/aws-quickstart/quickstart-datalake-47lini...
