# Sling

> Sling is a modern data movement and transformation platform. It ships as an open-source CLI (single Go binary, 40+ database/file/API connectors) and a commercial Platform (web UI, agents, orchestration, monitoring). Sling moves data efficiently between databases, file/object storage, datalakes, and REST APIs with full-refresh, incremental, snapshot, and CDC modes.

- [Connections CLI](https://docs.slingdata.io/sling-cli/conns): `sling conns` — list, test, discover, and manage connections from the terminal.
- [Global Variables](https://docs.slingdata.io/sling-cli/variables): Built-in runtime variables (`{run_timestamp}`, `{stream_name}`, etc.) usable in configs.
- [Project Management](https://docs.slingdata.io/sling-cli/project): `sling project` — init, sync, and manage projects linked to the Platform.
- [CLI Pro](https://docs.slingdata.io/sling-cli/cli-pro): Paid CLI tier — unlocks API connectors, advanced features, longer-running jobs.
- [VS Code Extension](https://docs.slingdata.io/sling-cli/vscode): YAML schema validation, autocomplete, and connection-aware IntelliSense for replication/pipeline/API-spec files.
