My latest issue on why I believe Dagger could be the future of CI/CD for Engineering and Platform Engineering teams https://romaricphilogene.substack.com/p/platform-tips-18-dagger-the-future What’s your thoughts? Did you try dagger? (I’m not affiliated)

I tried Dagger only shortly but I'm going to explore it more and test it in some real-life use-cases to see where I'm going to hit boundaries (e.g. integrations, visialization, debugging, etc.) Like you, I really like the appeal of having a portable CI/CD pipeline that runs the same everywhere and I really dislike all the YAML wrangling that we have to do for every specific CI/CD platform (with the mentioned push-and-pray workflow), it's just messy when you have non-trivial requirements. Thanks for writing this up!

I'm using Dagger for a long time and I believe it has potential to achieve more than that. I like using it but I can be has biased towards them since I'm also part of the community and developing modules with it like https://github.com/aweris/gale

Care to elaborate what you mean by 'achieve more than that'?

I send a little bit early, updated the message. Creating unique DSL's for cross language modules and caching feature works perfectly with static data. You can transform and proses your data with it and because of caching it becomes really efficient.
