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
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
