Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Genuinely useful — pipelines-as-real-code with OTel-native tracing and a native LLM primitive for agentic build work — but pre-1.0 status, container/kernel requirements, and an independently-measured CI caching cliff (6–12 min vs 2–3 min) without the paid Cloud tier warrant a contained pilot, not a wholesale CI swap.
Next
Prototype one Dagger module (TypeScript SDK) to replace a brittle multi-step build/test job locally, explicitly measuring CI cache hit-rate WITHOUT Dagger Cloud and local/CI parity before any broader migration
