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
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
