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.

  name: Dagger Engine GraphQL API
  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.

    Native SDKs for Go, Python, TypeScript, PHP, Java, .NET, Elixir,
    and Rust that generate strongly typed clients against the Dagger
    Engine's GraphQL schema, allowing pipelines to be written as
    regular code in the developer's preferred language.
