We have extensive jenkins pipelines, and the "platform team" supports multiple types of build/release models. Most of the infrastructure is written in TF. * 3 languages * 5 "types" (http/cron/flink/etc)

As such we've got huge groovy libraries that codify the build/release process.

I'm using dagger to re-implement most of these libraries, but in a way that I can test and develop locally without getting into tiny commit/rebuild hell.

Using a language like golang with an engine like buildkit behind it, allows me to more easily test each step of the pipeline, without running the whole thing.
