Dagger is an innovative startup aimed at simplifying and revolutionizing DevOps automation and software delivery. Created to address Docker's unattended gaps, Dagger streamlines software building, testing, and deployment, exhibiting immense growth potential and wide applications in fostering software ecosystems. For a few years now, they've been publicly iterating on the idea of a programmable and portable automation system for software building, testing, and deploying. In this episode, they cover many topics around Docker and Dagger. I've been convinced that I need to start trying out Dagger in my projects.The live recording of the complete show from November 16, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #241)★Topics★Dagger websiteCreators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host Nirmal Mehta - Host Solomon Hykes - Guest (00:00) - Intro (01:44) - Introducing Solomon Hykes and His Journey (02:25) - Solomon's Life Post-Docker (04:00) - The Genesis of Dagger (09:10) - The Vision Behind Dagger (25:44) - Modules and Declarative Model in Dagger (35:11) - Integration of Dagger with Other Tools (37:04) - Docker Slim and Dagger (38:28) - Question: Dagger, Framework or Library?
