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
“Still the best API development environment. Postbot generating tests from your API schema saves hours. Collections shared across teams are essential.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“It has gotten bloated over the years but the core functionality is unmatched. The AI features are genuinely useful, not just checkbox items.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“In an era of AI agents that can call APIs directly, do we still need a GUI for API testing? The future might be AI testing APIs autonomously.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
