Dagger Pipelines: Portable CI Logic

Express build/test/deploy graphs in code that runs locally and in remote CI without copy-paste drift.

Illustration for Dagger Pipelines: Portable CI Logic

You port a small multi-language build to Dagger cues, compare cold/warm cache stories, and discuss when graph-based pipelines reduce toil versus overhead for tiny repos.

What the syllabus includes

  • Cue/graph fundamentals tied to real builds
  • Local vs CI parity experiments
  • Cache warmness measurement worksheet
  • Secret injection patterns without leaking logs
  • Gradual adoption path for brownfield repos
  • Pairing on extracting shell spaghetti
  • Capstone: port a provided script to graph steps

Artifacts you leave with

  • Run the same pipeline graph locally and in CI
  • Document cache warmness before/after for one repo
  • Recommend adopt/hold/wait for two fictional teams

Participant notes

Dagger Pipelines portable CI logic week made our “works on my laptop” builds less mythical—still human, but clearer.

Graph port capstone caught an implicit env var dependency we had papered over in bash.
