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
“Type-safe database queries with auto-generated client. Prisma Migrate and Studio round out the developer experience.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Some performance concerns at extreme scale, but for 99% of apps the DX and type safety are worth it.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Prisma Accelerate (edge caching) and Pulse (real-time) expand Prisma from ORM to data platform.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
