Dagger: The Missing Ingredient for Your Disastrous CI/CD Pipeline

Leave a reply

In this video, we will take a look at some of the common mistakes that people make when building CI/CD pipelines, and we will show you how Dagger can help you to avoid these mistakes.

Dagger is a set of libraries enable us to write CI (not CI/CD) pipelines in a variety of languages (NodeJS, Python, Elixir, etc.), that can run anywhere (locally, remotely, in other pipeline tools), and that is based on Docker or other container runtimes.

It replaces many of the tasks we normally write in Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, Tekton, CircleCI, and other remote pipeline solutions.

Full App Lifecycle In Kubernetes With Argo CD, DevSpace, vCluster, k3d, and GitHub Actions

Leave a reply

Application lifecycle typically consists of three parts. First, we develop locally, we deploy to temporary environments, usually due to creating pull requests, and we proceed towards a permanent environment, all the way until production. Can we streamline and simplify the whole application lifecycle process by combining Kubernetes, vCluster, DevSpace, Argo CD, k3d, and GitHub Actions? Even if you prefer a different combination, the principles behind this process can be easily applied to a myriad of other tools.
