Dagger is an open-source programmable CI/CD engine that runs pipelines in containers using a unified, introspectable GraphQL API. Pipelines are written as code in the developer's preferred language (Go, Python, TypeScript, PHP, Java, .NET, Elixir, Rust) using Dagger SDKs and packaged as Dagger Modules that can be published to the Daggerverse module index. The Dagger Engine exposes Container, Directory, File, Secret, and CacheVolume as first-class GraphQL types backed by a content-addressed store. Dagger Cloud is the hosted control plane for pipeline traces, checks, and module observability.

The Dagger Engine exposes a unified, introspectable GraphQL type system at a per-session endpoint. The schema includes Container, Directory, File, Secret, and CacheVolume as first-class types and is dynamically extended at runtime by loaded Dagger Modules. There is no publicly-hosted REST endpoint.
