Enhanced productivity. Reliable builds. Speed up build times by 10x. Cut test times by 3x. Implement Bazel the smart way and join the era of faster build and test.
I suggest you add these lines to your .bazelrc file as early in your project as possible. Add one at a time and let the dust settle, as they can be breaking. See a complete .bazelrc file here: https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-examples/blob/main/...
Bazel manages your dependencies, and fetches them to a users machine when they are needed for a build. That's great, as it ensures all developers on the project have the same dependencies installed without having to think about it. When working well,...
A consistent theme of Bazel deployments at our clients is the steep on-ramp: how difficult it is for developers to understand and for DevInfra teams to integrate. On the other hand, Bazel's popularity is partly because Googlers have experienced how w...
Determinism in a build system is the property that the outputs are identical for given input files. A build tool might embed a timestamp in its output, or use a non-stable sorting, or include local filesystem paths. All of these are non-deterministic...
Bazel is supposed to be repeatable, right? Your teammate runs the tests on her computer and should get the same result as you did. A build from a commit last month should be the same if you re-build it today. But in practice, this only works when we ...
Writing developer documentation is a great way to show your coworkers that you care about them. Where should you put it though? There are a few choices: wiki software like Confluence from Atlassian Google Docs hackmd.io checked into source control ...
