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
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
