In our mission to revolutionize the digital world and drive the hyper-connected economy, we believe that the sky is no longer the limit. That’s why we’re announcing the new Azion CLI: our command-line interface that improves user experience on our platform and further powers what you can do at the edge.
Why Use Azion CLI?
All things being equal, what makes a developer choose one platform over another? Although this is a matter of personal taste on some level, many tech professionals will point out that they prioritize how easy it is for them to get their job done quickly. This means having better control of systems, speeding up the development and release cycles, implementing automation through scripting, and simplifying execution at scale. A command line interface (CLI) is a universally loved tool by developers to accomplish all of that. And that’s exactly why Azion is announcing a new and improved CLI so developers can further explore the infinite potential of our edge platform using the interface of choice of most devs.
Azion CLI allows you to perform complex tasks on our platform via command line. This means that you can perform the entire process of creating, managing, deploying, updating, and deleting your edge functions with just a few commands. Furthermore, CLI is the simplest way for our customers to provision Next.js and Flareact applications. On top of all that, you also have the option to manage edge services created in Edge Orchestrator.
Installing Azion CLI
As mentioned earlier, simplicity is a priority for any dev who wants to deliver quality work. That’s why Azion CLI is compatible with different platforms and operating systems.
In addition, it can also be installed quickly via command lines. In our documentation, you can find a step-by-step guide to running this powerful interface on your computer in just a few minutes.
Azion CLI Is Like Azion Itself: Flexible and Transparent
Azion’s constant dedication to delivering an even better user experience is nothing new to our customers. From optimizing how you sign up for our platform to implementing your applications, we work hard so that you always have the simplest, safest and most efficient way to do your job. Here are just a few examples:
- Social Login allows you to register on our platform and access the Real-Time Manager in just a few seconds, without the need to provide long lists of information or create new access passwords;
- On Azion Marketplace you can search, implement and run an edge function or an edge application with a few clicks;
- With our Web Application Firewall you can protect your web applications from the main OWASP Top 10 attacks and zero-day threats within seconds, setting pre-built rules and pre-established sensitivity levels.
- Real-Time Metrics processes and displays navigation data and provides key insights in real time through a simple, detailed menu.
Azion CLI is based on the same philosophy as all of these solutions, with one more advantage: it has been completely open-sourced, which allows the necessary customization to meet the specific needs of each of our customers.
