Dagger is a programmable CI/CD engine that defines build, test, and release workflows as code and runs 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, version, and reuse.
Dagger executes pipeline steps in containers, making dependencies explicit and portable. It is typically invoked from existing CI systems (such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI), while keeping the workflow code alongside the application to support local debugging and faster iteration.
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 for defining build, test, and release workflows in code and running them consistently across developer laptops and CI runners. It is commonly adopted to improve reproducibility, portability, and long-term maintainability compared to YAML-heavy pipelines.
Dagger is a good fit for platform teams standardizing delivery across multiple services and organizations reducing CI configuration sprawl. Trade-offs include adopting a code-first approach and investing in module ownership to keep shared components maintainable and secure.
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 the same on 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.
