Dagger provides a programmable tool that simplifies and enhances software development processes. Its main product is a modern API and a cross-language scripting engine that replaces traditional manual scripts. Developers can create reusable functions in their preferred programming language, which are then packaged into a custom GraphQL API. This API can be executed from various platforms, including command line and HTTP clients. Dagger targets software development teams, particularly in large enterprises, and operates within the DevOps and CI/CD markets, focusing on automating the software development lifecycle. Unlike competitors, Dagger emphasizes customization and reusability of functions, allowing teams to streamline their workflows effectively. The company's goal is to make software development faster and more efficient by providing a flexible tool that meets the specific needs of different organizations.
