There's a running joke in the developer community that the physical supply chain is far more efficient than the software supply chain, with software supply chains growing in size and complexity as computing moves to the cloud. Devops engineers are under pressure to automate them without breaking through the bottleneck. The company Dagger aims to solve this problem by providing a standardized set of building blocks for devops engineers to assemble any way they want, knowing that the result will run reliably on any cloud. Dagger has launched its public beta version and secured a $20 million Series A investment led by Redpoint Ventures, with participation from other prominent investors. The company is now valued at $30 million after adding another major investor, Erica Brescia at Redpoint, to its board.
