stacker is a tool and library used to create & update multiple CloudFormation stacks. It was originally written at Remind and released to the open source community.

At Remind we use stacker to manage all of our Cloudformation stacks -both in development, staging and production without any major issues.

docker run -it -v `pwd`:/stacks remind101/stacker build ...
