Introducing Vespa CLI

Vespa has introduced Vespa CLI, a zero-dependency command-line tool designed to simplify the deployment and interaction with Vespa applications, whether self-hosted or on Vespa Cloud. Historically, users interacted with Vespa applications using APIs or a Maven plugin, which required either terminal command expertise or a Java development toolchain. Vespa CLI, developed in Go and available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, eliminates these prerequisites by offering a more user-friendly alternative. It allows users to clone sample applications, deploy applications locally or remotely, interact with a dev zone in Vespa Cloud, feed and query documents, and send custom requests with automatic authentication. The tool is open-source, shares the same license as Vespa, and is available for installation via Homebrew or GitHub. Users are encouraged to explore the getting started guides and can provide feedback through GitHub issues.
