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
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
