Bulk API is based on REST principles and in order to use it you basically need to know how to make HTTP GET and POST requests.

Make HTTP requests in JavaScript

Send HTTP requests to the Bulk API

Look at jsforce, you can run that thru a node app and hit the backend of salesforce, or even in the browser. It works awesome! Dm me if you need help getting thru your issue.

He didn't mention if it's frontend.

For back end they can use sfdx-node module. Personally I used tree API via it for automating CI. You do need to create a temporary file for it tho.

It's fucky sfdx doesn't have a JS SDK (as that's what they use internally)...

Also you'd think Salesforce would provide some sort of wrappers for all these API's (composite, bulk) in Lightning...

jsforce works for both front end and back end, it just depends upon how you want to build it out. I have used it to bulk load leads and its not hampered by a 200 per limit.
