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
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
