web dev//platform CLI

A platform CLI is the command-line tool a cloud or hosting platform provides for managing deployments and services. Every major platform has one: `wrangler` (Cloudflare), `vercel` (Vercel), `netlify` (Netlify), `firebase` (Firebase), `aws` and `sam` (AWS), `flyctl` (Fly.io).

These tools abstract the platform's API into shell commands to deploy, configure, manage databases and view logs. The alternative is the web dashboard, but a CLI is faster and scriptable.
