Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Dagger is a programmable CI/CD engine that lets a pipeline be written as ordinary code calling a GraphQL API instead of a YAML configuration file. Each step executes inside an isolated, cacheable container, so the identical pipeline behaves the same on a developer's laptop as on any continuous-integration provider.
