About:
The DataStax Astra CLI provides a command-line interface for managing and interacting with Astra DB serverless databases. It enables developers to perform database operations, manage collections, and execute queries directly from the terminal. This tool streamlines cloud-native development workflows by integrating database management into automated scripts.

Key Features:

Authentication and session management for Astra DB
Database and collection management commands
CQL shell integration for querying data
Scriptable interface for automation

Use Cases:

Automating database provisioning and configuration in CI/CD pipelines
Managing Astra DB resources via terminal commands
Running ad-hoc queries and data operations for development

Alternatives:

Astra DB Console – Web-based GUI vs CLI; CLI is better for automation and scripting
cqlsh – Generic CQL shell vs Astra-specific tool; Astra CLI handles auth and cloud setup automatically
