Dagger is not a replacement for a CI system. It can be used to deploy applications directly from the terminal,
or automatically as part of a CI script.
## Dagger vs. Build Systems (Make, Maven, Bazel, Npm/Yarn, etc.)
*Summary: Dagger can be used with or without a build system.*
Most deployment workflows involve building: the process of producing executable artifacts from source code. Build systems are highly specific to the type of application, the programming language in use, etc.
Dagger can integrate any build system into an overall deployment workflow. If a Dagger module is not already available for a particular build system, a custom module can easily be written, and perhaps even contributed to the open-source catalog for everyone else to use.
