There is still a bit of work to be done to make it really nice and rules_kotlin tends to lag a bit behind if Kotlin is your poison. One area that needs work that I haven't had time to invest more in yet is a proper split layer OCI image build with rules_oci similar to what Jib does out of the box. Right now the example in the repo just dumps in the _deploy.jar which works but results in one fat layer that has to be pushed every time even if only app code changed. Overall though I think Bazel is awesome. I still end up using Gradle but try not to use it for projects other people need to work on, Gradle's comprehensibility cliff is worse than Bazel IMO and the more constrained nature of Bazel keeps people from making too bad of a mess.
