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
“Built-in database means zero external dependencies for simple CRUD apps. The automation engine is a nice bonus.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“For simple internal tools that need their own database, Budibase's self-contained approach is practical.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“The internal tools market is crowded. Budibase, Appsmith, ToolJet — differentiation is minimal.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
