How mature is this? We have a 20 person team and we're prototyping different pipelines for our next CI/CD pipeline (currently Heroku). Is this ready for production workloads?
We consider Dagger to be beta-quality. It definitely has bugs, and APIs are still moving, though we make a big effort to limit breaking changes, and help developers migrate when breaking changes do occur. We aim to be able to guarantee complete peace of mind and continuity for production pipelines, but can't make that guarantee yet.
That said, one nice aspect of Dagger is that you don't need to rip and replace your entire system: you can use it in a localized way to solve a specific problem. Then expand over time. It's similar to writing a quick shell script, except it's easier to reuse, refactor and compose over time.
