What is the-engine?

Sovereign Engine is a platform for managing cloud infrastructure across multiple providers, specifically AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and OVH, from a single tool. Instead of logging into each cloud provider separately to deploy servers, track costs, and clean up unused resources, you use one command-line tool or web dashboard to handle everything. Think of it as a universal remote control for cloud servers. The tool is designed to reduce cloud waste and costs through automated cleanup policies. Development and test environments are automatically shut down after periods of inactivity (8 hours for dev, 2 hours for test) and fully deleted after longer periods if still idle. Cost alerts warn you when spending approaches your budget limits. These automations run on a schedule without manual intervention. On the security side, cloud credentials (like API keys) are stored in encrypted files rather than plain text, using AES-GCM encryption (a standard method for securing data). The platform also integrates with monitoring tools, CI/CD pipelines (automated testing and deployment systems), and deployment managers to check whether environments are still actively in use before cleaning them up. You interact with it through a command-line interface, running commands like "engine deploy" to launch infrastructure, or through a local web dashboard at port 8080 that shows real-time deployment status and budget tracking. Built with Go and Crossplane (a tool for managing infrastructure as code), it requires no Go or Kubernetes installation to run. The full README is longer than what was provided.
