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
“Stateful edge servers are the right abstraction for real-time. The Cloudflare acquisition ensures long-term viability.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Durable Objects made simple. For real-time features without WebSocket infrastructure complexity, PartyKit is excellent.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Edge-first real-time infrastructure is the future of multiplayer applications. PartyKit is building that.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
