Key Themes

1. Native CI Push & Customer Conversations

Solomon is actively promoting Dagger's fully-hosted CI stack (cache, scheduler, compute) - the team has completely unplugged from GitHub Actions for their own CI.

Channel Discussion
#general Solomon pitching Native CI to johncodes (PaperCompute) - "Slapping a remote cache on dumb compute is a band-aid at best"
#shortcut-ai Gaetan (gdevillele) working through toolchain integration - friction with prettier/pnpm, questions about GitHub workflow dependencies
Thread: Namespace deal matipann coordinating deal discussion with Solomon; new billing dashboard created
#general Lucas interested in CI/CD UI blueprint project (like n8n for Dagger)

2. Dagger Cloud Stability Issues

A telemetry PR from sipsma caused cascading problems.

Channel Discussion
#infrastructure Jobs getting canceled and restarted in infinite loops; 503 errors on traces; PR closed to stop bleeding
Thread: Cloud API timeouts matipann/sipsma debugging - engine going away causing 503s, Inngest job failures

3. Engineering Wins

Channel Discussion
Thread: Go cache bug GODEBUG=goindex=0 workaround documented for monorepo false cache hits (Go issue #69179)
Thread: Alpine CDN x86_64 packages returning 404s; tiborvass switching to Wolfi (PR #11770)
Thread: Client generator wompfox PR #11768 - no more overwrites of main go.mod/go.sum
#maintainers eunomie adding generator decorator to TS SDK; security scan fixes (PR #11780)

4. Cloud/Checks UI Improvements

Channel Discussion
Thread: Checks UI vito: rerun visualization with duration bars, collapsible system spans, fixed strobing

5. Developer Experience Discussions

Channel Discussion
Thread: CLI output vindico wants cleaner output for non-Dagger engineers; discussed --progress=dots, --silent, hiding withExec stdout
Thread: AWS OIDC ECR login without secrets in logs; team planning OIDC federation and aws:// secret schemes
#daggernauts Function caching vs layer caching questions; native toolchain testing POC
Thread: Demo prep Solomon prepping for talk - eslint fix demo, playground issues, "COLLAPSE THE STACK!" resonating

6. New Signups & Support

Channel Discussion
#accounts-feed 30+ new free tier signups (deutschedienstrad, ray-myers, cedric-vidal, etc.)
#support ooosch (propellerdigital) - paid upgrade, brief cancel, re-sub; marcosnils resolved
Thread: Cypress e2e atupac success story - solved binary/cache issues with VSCode Copilot help

Action Items / Follow-ups

  1. Cloud backend hardening - prevent DOS from malformed telemetry
  2. OIDC provider for short-term credentials (AWS, ECR) - in planning
  3. Self-serve docs for subscription downgrades - customers don't know how
  4. Toolchain friction - prettier/pnpm issues need smoothing for monorepo adoption
  5. Go cache bug - consider upstreaming more pressure on Go issue #69179
