🚀 Introducing LocalOps CLI and our Product Roadmap

App environments created in any cloud have a backing Kubernetes cluster. We wanted developers to have a way to connect to the App environment and its underlying Kubernetes cluster to inspect if application's pods, deployments and services are healthy.

Even more so, to have full visibility into what LocalOps provisions inside each Kubernetes cluster, in addition to the main application. For example, Prometheus + Grafana stack.

Today, we are introducing LocalOps CLI to do just that 😎. Checkout the new Shell tab in your App environment page.

Install LocalOps CLI by running the following command in your MacOS terminal/iTerm:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://cli.localops.co/install.sh)"

If you are using Windows, checkout install instructions here - https://docs.localops.co/category/cli

Once you install, you can login to your account by running:

lops login

You can then give this App environment specific command to authenticate into the underlying kubernetes cluster:

lops update-kubeconfig --env 1221ae8f-4024-4e45-ae3e-99f4cececd73

The --env argument is specific to a given App Environment. Follow instructions in the new ✨Shell✨tab to get the correct environment ID.

After this, all kubectl READ commands would work as usual.

Note: Anyone who can see an App environment inside LocalOps login can authenticate in above way and access the cluster via CLI.

We have more plans for the CLI, especially to enhance Developer Experience to a great extent. Stay tuned!

Speaking about plans...

Making our Product Roadmap public today 🌎:

We have made our roadmap public today.

Checkout https://localops.co/roadmap to see what we are thinking about building. At least for the short term.

Being a small team, this was not an easy step for us. We had our initial concerns in making our plans public! Will someone steal our ideas? Will anyone be able to get past us in winning customers more than us?

Beyond these concerns, we wanted to build trust with customers. And I believe keeping things a bit more open gives them a reason to use us more than anyone else. So here we are, we made things public. You can vote on features you wanted the most.

You can find the roadmap here on our website - https://localops.co:
