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
“Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Next.js defines how modern web apps are built. Server Components and AI SDK integration make it the platform for AI web apps.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
