May 2025 Summaries

The Dagger TypeScript SDK now supports the Deno runtime, in addition to Node.js and Bun. This addition allows developers to choose their preferred JavaScript runtime for modern development workflows. The support was made possible by overcoming technical roadblocks related to Deno's workspace management, compatibility layer, and configuration file requirements. With this update, users can write and run Dagger modules using Deno, taking advantage of its native TypeScript support and excellent performance without needing transpile or configure complex build tooling.

Docker's founding team created Dagger to bring modularity and reusability to software delivery and development workflows by introducing reusable building blocks called "modules". These modules can be combined to compose any kind of software delivery workflow, from simple builds to end-to-end tests. The new Module Catalog & Insights for Dagger Cloud customers makes it easy to find, reuse, and manage modules privately inside their organization, allowing teams to fully leverage reusable building blocks to build a modern software factory and ship great software faster and safer. By connecting GitHub repos through the Dagger Cloud GitHub app, teams can discover and use existing modules, with autogenerated API docs and clear metadata making it easier to understand what each module does and trust it. Module Insights provide visibility into usage, dependencies, and supply-chain risks, helping teams spot opportunities to improve commonly used components.
