We were thrilled to wake up this morning and see that the Dagger Project has just reached 10k stars on GitHub. How lucky we are to have such a strong and supportive community! We appreciate all of the support, and have had a blast highlighting all of the community’s feedback on our new Dagger Love page.

Seeing us hit this milestone led me to reflect on all the amazing things this community has accomplished together over the past few years. When I joined the Dagger team two years ago, we were conducting discovery calls with users who were trying their hardest to use Dagger with CUE. These users were dedicated to figuring it out and made it their mission to overcome the CUE learning curve and adopt Dagger. 

After many rounds of feedback, we realized we needed to expand beyond CUE and make Dagger a truly multi-language product. While we were making this change internally, we had so many community members provide feedback, and even help us build additional community SDKs!

Once we added the Dagger Go SDK, Python SDK, and TypeScript SDK, the pace of community growth accelerated significantly. With the CUE hurdle removed, we were able to connect with more users about their specific Dagger use cases and help them excel in using Dagger in production.

Our Dagger Power User Series allowed us to highlight Daggernauts who had taken the Dagger project in production. As we all know, it is hard to highlight how a product can truly help without showcasing real-world examples, and these pioneering Daggernauts made it possible:

We have many more power user blog posts coming in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

Since the start of the Dagger Community, we’ve hosted a bi-weekly Dagger community call where Daggernauts come to share what they are working on with Dagger. These calls hold a special place in my heart because it gives everyone a place to showcase how they are using Dagger and where they might be getting stuck. If you haven’t joined our calls yet, I highly recommend it!

You can join here. If you want to demo at on of these calls, DM me on Discord.

Once the calls are done, we add all the community demos here. It is a great place to find users who might have the same use case as you.

When the demos are added to YouTube, we also create a thread on our “Demos” Discord Forum that connects everyone with the speaker from the demo. This is where the community magic happens! Daggernauts connect with each other and ask follow-up questions on how to best integrate each other’s Dagger solutions.

In the last few weeks, we’ve made our Dagger Cloud pricing more accessible for individual contributors, introduced functions, and launched the Daggerverse. All of these launches were only possible because of the continued feedback that our community provides us via open and honest communication on our very active Discord server.

Although the Dagger team and community have accomplished a lot over the last few months, it’s only the beginning. We look forward to announcing many more community activities soon.

Thank you again to everyone who has helped us reach this milestone and continued to keep our Dagger community a welcoming and supportive place.
