I had a look at Dagger, but I'm having a lot of success recently just building CI/CD pipelines with Nix. My `.gitlab-ci.yml` file is then just a thin wrapper of `nix build` commands, and pipelines can be run locally in the exact same environment as CI/CD.

Yep, being able to hand-tune the environment and then run it anywhere has been a staple of Nix far longer than Dagger has been around. I know it has its detractors (especially around here), but it's going to take something a lot more awe-inspiring before I give up my Nix superpowers :)
