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
“WebContainers running Node.js in the browser is technical magic. Perfect for bug reproductions, tutorials, and quick experiments.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“The technology is genuinely impressive. Running Node.js in a browser tab without a server is revolutionary.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Browser-based development will become the default for many workflows. StackBlitz's WebContainers are the enabling technology.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
