What is Dagger?

Editorial review
Dagger is a programmable CI/CD engine that runs your pipelines in containers. Define your entire pipeline in your favorite programming language (Go, Python, TypeScript, or any language with a GraphQL client), run it locally, and then run the same pipeline in any CI environment. Dagger caches everything by default, making builds faster and more efficient. It eliminates CI lock-in by providing a portable, containerized runtime for all your CI/CD needs.
