Dagger

The missing software stack for CI

Visit Dagger

Dagger is a CI platform that replaces hand-written CI scripts with an API and code-based pipelines. Pipeline logic is separated from the environment it runs in, so the same pipeline can run locally, on push, or in the cloud. It supports multi-container environments, automatic caching, end-to-end tracing, and multiple languages.

Key capabilities include workflow and function logs, function call traces, workflow cache visibility, pre-push visibility, run history, and GitHub Checks integration. Team and Enterprise plans add module insights, module catalog access, and centralized telemetry, with Enterprise offering SSO and managed single-tenant deployment.

Dagger is available as a free Individual plan, a Team plan for up to 10 users with a two-week trial, and a custom Enterprise edition. Support ranges from community and email support to 24/7 premium support.
