cfnrain is a community-maintained fork of AWS's archived CloudFormation CLI tool Rain, continuing development from the last commit and serving as a drop-in replacement. It handles deploying stacks via change sets, packaging local files, formatting templates, and showing stack logs. It's useful because it rescues a popular tool from archival, but it's fundamentally a maintenance fork rather than new work.

Target audience: devops and backend engineers working with AWS CloudFormation
