Wasp uses a simple DSL to define full-stack web apps — routes, auth, background jobs, email. Compiles to React + Node.js + Prisma. Configuration over code.
Reviewer scorecard
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
