Building the CLI and the backend that powers it was a lot of fun. I want to write up a technical post on how it works, but the gist of it is:
* Node.js CLI that builds deployable zips
* AWS Lambda behind the scenes running the code
* A very "RPC-like" interface that calls into the exported schema
* It interops automatically with 750+ apps via our workflow editor
Previously you could do similar things via our browser based GUI - but surprise surprise - engineers don't really like working in the browser! :-P

- bryanh 10y agoI have heard that is getting much, much better - but another annoyance we've heard for "browser-centric" development has been tooling integration (CI, tests, etc). Probably more so for teams with existing infrastructure and processes. I'll have to give c9 another shot!
