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
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
