Boltic Serverless - CLI, Workspaces & Runtime Controls - Now Live!

New feature

We’re excited to introduce new enhancements and features to Boltic Serverless, focused on improving developer workflows, control, and deployment flexibility.

‍

1. What’s New - Boltic CLI for Serverless

A new CLI experience is now available for managing serverless directly from your terminal.

Create and manage serverless functions locally

• Simple command: boltic serverless create
• Supports multiple runtimes (e.g., Node.js)
• Blueprint-based function creation
• Local changes sync with Boltic platform

Prerequisites

• Node.js must be installed
• NPM must be available on your local machine

‍

How It Works

• Run boltic serverless create
• Choose type (code/container), name, and language
• CLI generates blueprint and starts build
• Track build and deployment status in real time
• Manage configs locally via boltic.yaml

2. Workspaces

Introducing Serverless Workspaces for a more integrated development experience.

• Create dedicated workspaces for serverless apps
• Add multiple apps from repositories
• Run functions in a VS Code browser environment
• Choose machine types (including auto-suspend)

‍

How It Works

• Create a workspace and link your repository
• Select compute configuration
• Develop and run functions directly in browser-based VS Code
• Manage multiple serverless apps in one place

‍

‍

3. Start / Stop Controls

You now have full control over serverless runtime states.

• Start or stop serverless functions anytime
• Easily pause running workloads
• Restart services when needed

‍

How It Works

• Use the start/stop option from the dashboard
• Stop pauses execution and frees resources
• Start resumes the serverless function
• Status updates visible during build and runtime

‍

4. Auth-Based Docker Image Pull

Securely pull container images from private registries.

• Authenticate using Docker username and token
• Pull images directly from your Docker account
• Works seamlessly with container-based deployments

‍

How It Works

• Select container-based serverless option
• Provide Docker credentials
• Boltic securely pulls and deploys your image

‍

Why This Matters

• Build and deploy faster with a CLI-first workflow
• Develop seamlessly with workspaces + browser VS Code
• Gain better control with start/stop runtime management
• Use private images securely with auth-based Docker pulls
