I think this is basically the premise for Earthly and Dagger, right?

Has anyone used both? How do they compare? I really like the idea of Dagger, but I found the configuration files impenetrable and couldn't even get started with a single build. I guess some of my issue was that I had to learn Dagger and Cue at the same time, and didn't know what needed what.

I haven’t used dagger, but I have used Earthly for a couple of months. It needs some polishing, but I feel like it solves 95% of my problems with Makefiles + Docker for containerized builds.

Same experience, I also looked at Dagger for it’s ecosystem of libraries, but I just didn’t understand it
