Summary

Dagger Functions` is a core feature of the `Dagger Engine`, which is expanding and making itself available to all developers. It allows users to transform their messy CI scripts into clean code, making their CI simpler, faster, more reliable, more portable - and more fun to write. The new feature uses a next-generation container engine controlled by a GraphQL API to chain multiple functions together into a dynamic pipeline with a single query. Users can now write their own Dagger Functions, package them into reusable modules, and call them directly from the CLI. This makes it easier for developers to collaborate and standardize their platform across language silos. The feature is designed to be safe and extensible, allowing users to share their code and best practices with others.
