# dagu

> Lightweight, self-hostable workflow orchestrator and scheduler

Dagu is a local-first workflow engine that executes declarative YAML DAGs without requiring an external database or message broker. It turns shell scripts, Docker containers, and Kubernetes jobs into resilient workflows with schedules, retries, and step logs. It runs as a single binary, a Docker container, or on Kubernetes via Helm, and includes a built-in web UI.
