About Dagger
Dagger hardens its cloud platform as it pushes CI/CD into managed engines and agent loops.
Dagger has moved beyond a pipelines-as-code SDK into a managed cloud platform, with Cloud Engines and Cloud Checks in early access. The recent run is hardening work around that shift: generated-code drift detection, broader LLM-provider compatibility, OIDC secrets, a rebuilt TUI, and faster connections.
