Dagger is a programmable CI/CD engine that lets teams define build, test, and release workflows in code and run them consistently across developer laptops and CI runners. It is commonly used by DevOps and platform engineering teams to reduce environment drift, standardize automation across repositories, and make pipeline logic easier to review and reuse.
Dagger executes pipeline steps in containers, making dependencies explicit and portable. It typically integrates with existing CI platforms (such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI) by invoking Dagger from a job while keeping workflow code versioned alongside the application.
Continuous Delivery is a software development practice in which code changes are automatically built, tested, and deployed to production with minimal human intervention.
Several advantages of using Continuous Delivery in your business:
Dagger is a programmable CI/CD engine that defines build, test, and release workflows in code and runs them consistently across developer laptops and CI runners. It is used to improve reproducibility, portability, and maintainability compared to YAML-centric pipelines.
Dagger is a good fit for platform teams standardizing delivery across multiple services, organizations reducing CI YAML sprawl, and teams that want a single workflow definition that works locally and in CI. Trade-offs include adopting a code-first approach and investing in module design and ownership to keep shared components maintainable.
Common alternatives include GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Tekton.
Our experience with Dagger helped us turn CI/CD workflows into versioned, testable code that runs consistently across developer laptops and CI runners, and we’ve applied these patterns in client environments to reduce pipeline drift and improve delivery reliability.
Some of the things we did include:
This experience helped us accumulate significant knowledge across multiple Dagger use-cases, and it enables us to deliver high-quality Dagger setups that are portable, secure, and aligned with real-world delivery constraints.
