What is Dagger CI Pipeline
Dagger is a CI/CD framework where you write pipelines as code in Go or Python, not YAML. Pipelines are containerized and fully portable, they run identically on your laptop, in GitHub Actions, in GitLab CI, or any other environment. Instead of learning YAML syntax for each CI tool, you use a general-purpose language (Go, Python), IDEs, testing, and all the tools you're familiar with.
