I really wish they would make this tech available via gcloud. Seems like it would be very popular and a great way to attract other gcloud business away from MS/GitHub which scales horribly.
- grahar64 4y agoThey tried that by making a bit available with a remote cloud builder for Bazel. It failed for some reason and they pulled it. I think building something that scales for one big repo is just a completely different problem than making it scale for a lot of small repos.

- ameliaquining 4y agoI think that maintaining a hosted service has significantly higher fixed costs than maintaining an open source project whose users are responsible for deploying it themselves. So a higher degree of adoption would be necessary to justify it.
- grahar64 4y agoDont get me wrong, I love Bazel. But tooling for it to build multi-language multi-billion line monorepos doesn’t exist outside big companies.

- blindriver 4y agoLong term projects like this don't get any attention because the chance of getting a promotion from it are almost nil. And after the layoffs, it's pretty clear that no matter how hard you work, you can get fired so what's the point in dedicating your career to something like this?
- ameliaquining 4y agoBeating Git's network effects sounds extremely difficult, especially since very few users of Git run into serious problems scaling it.
