You should check out troposphere (https://github.com/cloudtools/troposphere/) and stacker (https://github.com/remind101/stacker/). I'm a maintainer of both - we try to make CF easier by catching errors earlier, and allowing you to do things like write for loops, in troposphere. stacker tries to take your troposphere templates and tie them together as totally separate stacks.

Hey! Creator of Empire here. The demo stack we provide isn't suitable for production use as you found out already. Empire can definitely be deployed in a production ready manor where you can have internal and external services, which is how we have it setup at Remind. The docs are a little lacking right now unfortunately, but we'll be improving this in the future. We actually have a production ready example stack using our stack provisioning tool called stacker: https://github.com/remind101/stacker/pull/43.
