Lightning Talk: CF CLI-Plugins for Fun and Profit

on YouTube ↗06m

" summary

Explains that CF CLI plugins are small local binaries written in Go that talk to the CLI over RPC, shows installing from the community repo or via local/HTTP, and demos real plugins: cf-top shows live app metrics, cf-local builds into Docker so you can debug buildpacks locally. Mentions a plugin that keeps the CLI updated, existing blue‑green helpers, and the move from brittle shell scripts to a testable Go plugin that actually works in production.
