Working with NServiceBus shouldn’t require spinning up a whole host application just to send a message. That’s why I built Busly CLI — a lightweight, cross-platform command-line tool that lets you send commands and events instantly. No boilerplate, no fuss, just messaging at your fingertips.

Why You’ll Love Busly CLI​

  • 🚀 Send messages straight from your terminal
  • 🧩 Use custom message types that match your contracts
  • 🌐 Works with Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ, and AWS SQS
  • ⚙️ Easily switch transports between local, dev, staging, or production
  • 💻 Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • 📦 Install your way: Chocolatey, Docker, .NET tool, or GitHub binary

Help Us Reach 1.0.0​

Busly CLI is shaping up fast, but I need your help to make version 1.0.0 rock-solid:

  • Try it out and let us know what works (or doesn’t).
  • Report bugs on GitHub — every issue helps!
  • Contribute code, docs, or ideas — every contribution counts.

Together, we can make Busly CLI the go-to tool for messaging in NServiceBus. Jump in, experiment, and help us get to that stable 1.0.0 release!

Check it out on GitHub and start sending messages in seconds.
