We’ve always admired Earthly. Their vision of making CI more developer-friendly through containerized builds and reproducible pipelines was bold, clear, and deeply needed. As Earthly evolves and concludes their container-native CI business, many teams are now seeking alternatives.

Dagger is a platform that lets you code your software delivery workflows — environments, builds, tests, deployments, and more — using standard programming languages like Go, Python, and TypeScript.

• Your pipelines become just code: Testable, versionable, and shareable.

• Your builds run anywhere: Locally, in CI, or in Dagger Cloud, ensuring portability.

• You compose your pipeline from modular functions, backed by a powerful container runtime.

• You can add LLMs into your workflows for even greater automation.

While Dagger isn’t a drop-in replacement for Earthly, it shares similar DNA rooted in containers and developer-centric workflows. For Earthly users looking for a new home, we think you'll love using Dagger and we want to make it easy for you to migrate…
