Author here. I wanted to get my head wrapped around when Bazel was an excellent build solution, so I interviewed six people with a lot of Bazel experience and picked their brains.
This somewhat long article hopes to answer questions about Bazel for future people in a similar position to me. If you know a lot of Bazel then you might not learn much but if you’ve vaguely heard of it and are not sure when its the tool that should be reached for I’m hoping this will help.
- jxramos 4y agoI particularly enjoyed the history aspect of it, these things give you broad contours of where pools of experience exist and what specific organizations were responsible for driving and advancing things.
- lostdog 4y agoThis was a great way to pull wisdom from many different people, and get a broad idea of what everyone's experience is. Looking forward to more posts! I'm also surprised at how little experience everyone had with bazel alternatives. I wonder if buck or pants is easier to work with.
- adamgordonbell 4y agoThanks! Oscar in the article had experience with Pants but preferred Bazel and Bazel certainly has the most usage at this scale.
