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
“Perfect for prototyping. I described a dashboard and had a working app in 3 minutes. Not production-ready, but unbeatable for speed-to-demo.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Impressive demo, but the generated code is messy and you'll rewrite most of it. If you can't code, you can't fix what it breaks. Know what you're getting into.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“As a creator who needs quick landing pages and MVPs, this is a game-changer. I built a waitlist page with email capture in under 5 minutes.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
