datastax/astra-cli repository overview

Astra CLI is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that enables users to interact with and manage the Astra database-as-a-service platform. It provides developers with a streamlined way to create, configure, and manipulate databases, making it easier to integrate Astra into their applications and workflows.

Astra CLI goes beyond basic database management by facilitating the seamless integration of external tools like dsbulk, cqlsh, and pulshar-shell or by providing useful shortcuts like dotenv file generation.

It can be installed on a laptop (Mac, Linux, Windows with WSL@) or as the docker image here. Documentation to install is here⁠
