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
“The best GraphQL server for Node.js. Envelop plugin system and multi-runtime support (Bun, Deno, Workers).”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“If you're building a GraphQL API in Node.js, Yoga with Envelop plugins is the most maintainable approach.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“GraphQL servers are mature technology. Innovation has moved to the client and tooling layer.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
