Deis vs Empire: What are the differences?
Deis: Open Source PaaS that builds upon Docker and CoreOS to provide a lightweight PaaS with a Heroku-inspired workflow. Deis can deploy any application or service that can run inside a Docker container. In order to be scaled horizontally, applications must follow Heroku's 12-factor methodology and store state in external backing services; Empire: A Self-Hosted PaaS Built on Docker and Amazon ECS. Empire is a control layer on top of Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) that provides a Heroku like workflow. It conforms to a subset of the Heroku Platform API, which means you can use the same tools and processes that you use with Heroku, but with all the power of EC2 and Docker.
Deis and Empire belong to "Platform as a Service" category of the tech stack.
Deis and Empire are both open source tools. It seems that Deis with 6.12K GitHub stars and 863 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Empire with 2.53K GitHub stars and 156 GitHub forks.
