Dagger lets you write CI/CD pipelines in your programming language — TypeScript, Python, Go. Runs locally and in any CI. No more YAML.
Reviewer scorecard
“The Java 8-to-17 migration feature alone can save teams months. AWS-specific knowledge is unmatched.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Only makes sense if you're deep in AWS. The general coding assistance lags behind Copilot and Claude.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Amazon's enterprise distribution ensures adoption. The AWS-specific capabilities create a defensible niche.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
