- Dagger is a programmable open-source CI/CD engine designed to build modern software workflows.
- It allows defining software delivery workflows and development environments with reusable components, including LLMs, and runs them anywhere.
- Dagger provides a containerized execution runtime for cacheable, reproducible operations, working across any compute platform or tech stack.
- Key features include CLI & SDKs for rapid prototyping, type-safe connections, and mixing components across language ecosystems (Go, Python, TypeScript).
- Dagger supports LLM integration, enabling AI agents to interact with containers and tools programmatically.
- Built-in tracing, logs, and metrics offer observability for debugging complex workflows.
- Dagger functions enable building reusable modules, shared via the Daggerverse, reducing repetitive automation coding.
- Users highlight its portability, local development benefits, and potential to replace traditional CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
- Community feedback emphasizes Dagger's ease of use, developer experience, and its role in modernizing CI/CD pipelines.
