Dagger

aid: dagger
name: Dagger
kind: opensource
description: Dagger is an open-source programmable CI/CD engine that runs pipelines in containers using a unified, introspectable
  GraphQL API. Pipelines are written as code in the developer's preferred language (Go, Python, TypeScript, PHP, Java, .NET,
  Elixir, or Rust) using Dagger SDKs and packaged as Dagger Modules that can be published to the Daggerverse module index.
  The Dagger Engine exposes Container, Directory, File, Secret, and CacheVolume as first-class GraphQL types backed by a content-addressed
  store, enabling deterministic builds and aggressive caching. Dagger Cloud provides the hosted control plane for pipeline
  traces, checks, and module observability. Dagger does not expose a public REST API; clients connect to a per-session Dagger
  Engine GraphQL endpoint and the optional Dagger Cloud Web UI.

  description: The Dagger Engine exposes a unified, introspectable GraphQL type system at a per-session endpoint. The schema
    includes Container, Directory, File, Secret, CacheVolume, and other first-class types and is dynamically extended at runtime
    by loaded Dagger Modules. All Dagger SDKs (Go, Python, TypeScript, PHP, Java, .NET, Elixir, Rust) are generated against
    this schema. There is no publicly-hosted REST endpoint.
