What is Dagger?

Dagger is a programmable CI/CD engine that runs your pipelines in containers.

Programmable

Develop your CI/CD pipelines as code, in the same programming language as your application.

Runs your pipelines in containers

Dagger executes your pipelines entirely as standard OCI containers. This has several benefits:

• Instant local testing
• Portability: the same pipeline can run on your local machine, a CI runner, a dedicated server, or any container hosting service.
• Superior caching: every operation is cached by default, and caching works the same everywhere
• Compatibility with the Docker ecosystem: if it runs in a container, you can add it to your pipeline.
• Cross-language instrumentation: teams can use each other's tools without learning each other's language.

Who is it for?

Dagger may be a good fit if you are...

• A developer wishing your CI pipelines were code instead of YAML
• Your team's "designated devops person", hoping to replace a pile of artisanal scripts with something more powerful
• A platform engineer writing custom tooling, with the goal of unifying continuous delivery across organizational silos
• A cloud-native developer advocate or solutions engineer, looking to demonstrate a complex integration on short notice
