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
“3x faster installs, strict dependency resolution, and disk space savings. The best JavaScript package manager.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Strictly better than npm in every measurable way. The strict node_modules prevents dependency bugs.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“pnpm's content-addressable store is the right architecture. Bun's speed will push it further.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
