“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Self-hostable internal tool builder. For internal dashboards and admin panels, it saves real development time.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Low-code internal tools are becoming standard. Open-source options like Appsmith democratize access.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
