The blog post shares the story of Kevin Minehart, a software engineer at Grafana Labs who uses Dagger to create bespoke Grafana packages for end-users. Previously, Kevin built every package using a remote CI engine, which was a time-consuming process that consumed most of his day. With Dagger, he is able to build packages locally in 8 minutes or less, a build-time improvement of ~75%. The solution allows Kevin and his team to quickly and consistently build Grafana packages for multiple architectures and platforms, including Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. The built-in caching produces a significant increase in performance, eliminating much of the FUD of the previous process. The Dagger pipeline is invoked as a single process which contains all the business logic necessary to produce a final package, making it easier for the team to continuously improve the pipeline by adding tests, reusing Go modules and adopting existing best practices.
