Getting started with Dagster+
To get started with Dagster+, you will need to create a Dagster+ organization and choose your deployment type (Serverless or Hybrid).
Create a Dagster+ organization
First, create a Dagster+ organization. You can sign up with:
- a Google email address
- a GitHub account
- a one-time email link (ideal if you are using a corporate email). You can set up SSO after completing these steps.
Choose your deployment type
-
Dagster+ Serverless is the easiest way to get started and is great for teams with limited DevOps support. In Dagster+ Serverless, your Dagster code is executed in Dagster+. You will need to be okay giving Dagster+ the credentials to connect to the tools you want to orchestrate.
-
Dagster+ Hybrid is great for teams who want to orchestrate tools without giving Dagster+ direct access to your systems. Dagster+ Hybrid requires more DevOps support.
The remaining steps depend on your deployment type.
- Dagster+ Serverless
- Dagster+ Hybrid
We recommend following the steps in Dagster+ to add a new project.
The Dagster+ onboarding will guide you through:
- creating a Git repository containing your Dagster code
- setting up the necessary CI/CD actions to deploy that repository to Dagster+
If you don't have any Dagster code yet, you can select an example project or import an existing dbt project.
See the guide on adding code locations for details.
Install a Dagster+ Hybrid agent
Follow these guides for installing a Dagster+ Hybrid agent. If you're not sure which agent to use, we recommend the Dagster+ Kubernetes agent in most cases.
Set up CI/CD
In most cases, your CI/CD process will be responsible for:
- building your Dagster code into a Docker image
- pushing your Docker image to a container registry you manage
- notifying Dagster+ of the new or updated code
Refer to the guide for adding a code location for more detail.
