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
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
