About Dagu

What is Dagu?

Dagu is a self-contained, single-binary workflow orchestration engine. Workflows are defined as DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graphs) in simple YAML files. It requires no external databases, no message brokers, and no complex infrastructure — everything runs locally out of the box.

Our Mission

We believe workflow orchestration should be simple and accessible to everyone. Whether you're automating data pipelines, CI/CD processes, or system maintenance tasks, Dagu lets you define, run, and monitor workflows without the overhead of heavyweight platforms.

License Key

Dagu is and always will be open source. A license key unlocks enterprise features such as SSO, audit logging, and role-based access control (RBAC). Purchasing a license key also directly supports the long-term sustainability of the project — keeping Dagu maintained, improved, and free for everyone.

Dagu Pro

Dagu Pro is the licensing and account management platform for Dagu enterprise features. It handles license key issuance, activation, and billing — each license activates enterprise features like SSO, audit logging, and RBAC on a single self-hosted Dagu server.
