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
“Open-source feature flags that you can self-host. SDKs for every language and the evaluation is fast.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“80% of LaunchDarkly's features at a fraction of the cost. Self-hosting option means no vendor lock-in.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Feature flag infrastructure is becoming commodity. Open-source solutions like Unleash will capture the long tail.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
