Hi everyone, new here 👋
I was really excited about Boundary for managing access, but I just checked their public roadmap. I'm a bit disappointed that CLI improvements seem to be moving so slowly. I rely a lot on the command line for scripting and automation.
For those using it in production, how do you handle workflows without more advanced CLI features? Is the API the main way to go for now? Just trying to understand the best approach. Thanks for any advice!
Yeah, I get where you're coming from. The CLI does feel a bit basic for heavy scripting sometimes.
The API is definitely the path for complex workflows right now. I've had decent luck wrapping API calls in simple shell functions for my common tasks - it's a bit more upfront work, but then you can script pretty much anything. The API's Swagger docs are quite complete.
Have you tried mixing them? Like using the CLI for quick, one-off auth and then the API for the actual automation logic. It's not perfect, but it bridges the gap until the CLI gets more love.
