Write portable CI/CD pipelines using Python
summary
Shows how to use Dagger to write CI/CD pipelines as Python code that run in OCI containers via BuildKit and the Dagger engine, with examples that build a FastAPI image, push it to a registry, and run tests against a mocked DynamoDB using service containers. Demonstrates Dockerfile-less builds, multi-stage caching that reuses installed dependencies, and the experimental interactive UI. Notes that pipelines become imperative code, risks vendor lock-in if using Dagger-specific Dockerfile APIs, and that the demo runs and publishes an image successfully.
