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
“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
