Day 89: Building a CLI Tool for Distributed Log Processing Platform
Module 4: Building a Complete Distributed Log Platform (Days 91-120)
What We're Building Today
Today we're creating the command-line interface that transforms your distributed log processing platform from a complex backend system into an intuitive, scriptable tool. Think of it as building the cockpit for a fighter jet - all the power of your distributed system accessible through clean, efficient commands.
Our Build Agenda:
Interactive CLI with intuitive commands for log management
Real-time log streaming and search capabilities
Platform administration and monitoring tools
Integration with existing SDK libraries from Day 88
Scriptable automation interface for DevOps workflows
Today's Mission: Your Log Platform's Command Center
Modern distributed platforms succeed when they're accessible to both humans and machines. While your REST APIs serve applications and your SDKs enable programmatic access, the CLI bridges the gap for operations teams, developers, and automated scripts.
GitHub's CLI transformed how developers interact with repositories. Instead of switching between terminal and browser, developers can create issues, review PRs, and manage releases directly from their command line. Your log processing CLI will provide similar efficiency for log management workflows.
