Its community surface included Read the Docs documentation, a Google group, and Slack, but the project remains tied closely to the Remind engineering context. ### How it is used The `emp` CLI is documented as a fork of Heroku's `hk` command with Empire-specific features. A typical package-manager user installed `emp` to deploy tagged Docker images, scale Procfile process types, manage domains, and interact with an Empire API server from a terminal. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, `emp` captures a particular mid-2010s deployment moment: Heroku workflows, Docker images, ECS services, internal ELBs, and Route53 service discovery wrapped in a small CLI install. ### Related projects - Empire explicitly relates to Amazon ECS, Docker, the Heroku Platform API, Heroku's `hk` CLI, and Remind's earlier `tugboat` work. ### Sources - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** emp - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [convox](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/convox/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, deployment, paas. - [aws-elasticbeanstalk](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aws-elasticbeanstalk/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: aws, cli, cloud-infrastructure, deployment, paas. - [ecs-deploy](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ecs-deploy/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: aws, cli, cloud-infrastructure, deployment, ecs. - [epinio](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/epinio/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, paas. - [amazon-ecs-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/amazon-ecs-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: aws, cli, cloud-infrastructure, ecs. - [e1s](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/e1s/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: aws, cli, cloud-infrastructure, ecs. - [flyctl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/flyctl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, deployment, paas. - [heroku](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/heroku/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, deployment, paas. - [rain](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rain/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
