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
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
