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
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
