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
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
