UX Designer here with a long history in developer services.
Build what your customer needs.
Most often for PaaS offerings that is actually a robust, well documented, and principled API design.
CLIs come in a very close second.
GUIs tend to add real value for observability and operational management, but very little for composition or configuration.
Use the right form of experience for the workflow, data, and familiarity of your customers.
- gabereiser 6y ago“Build what your customer needs” is spot on and needs an additional emphasis.
- ineedasername 6y agoPrecisely. As long as you're not doing CLI for "ideological" reasons, sure, go for it if it's what customers want.
