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
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
