Local-first workflow engine with a Web UI for small teams. Define DAGs in a declarative YAML format. Self-contained and no DBMS required. Use any AI agent to manage your DAGs.
Dagu is a self-contained, file-backed workflow orchestration engine written in Go that lets teams define directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) in declarative YAML and run them via a built-in Web UI without requiring a database like PostgreSQL or a message broker. Steps can execute shell commands, Docker containers, Kubernetes Jobs, SSH remote commands, and AI agent harnesses, all managed through a single binary that installs on Linux, macOS, or Windows. It connects to Claude and other AI agents through a built-in MCP server, allowing agents to create, trigger, monitor, and manage workflows programmatically. The Web UI provides a kanban-style cockpit view, per-step logs, retry controls, and human-in-the-loop approval steps. A standout detail is that Dagu stores all state in local files rather than an external DBMS, making it practical for edge deployments, private infrastructure, and small teams who want Airflow-style DAG orchestration without the six-plus service overhead traditional orchestrators require. DevOps engineers, data engineers, and support teams managing cron jobs or ETL pipelines benefit most.
