No one has, to my knowledge, argued that Bazel isn't useful or worthwhile. My point was adopting Bazel is costly for an engineering organization, and you may not need all of its features. Bazel-lite may be enough. Large companies, with

How do you compare with BuildBuddy? BuildBuddy embraces Bazel, but makes it easier to setup and operate Bazel when you don't have Google infrastructure. - https://www.buildbuddy.io/ - https://github.com&#x2F

Again, something is going over my head. Cedar has nothing to do with AWS except that it's open sourced by AWS (I think?). It has nothing to do with IAM, an existing way to model policy specifically for AWS owned resources. What you do

by ctvo 4y ago
That's not Cedar or what Cedar solves. Cedar isn't replacing IAM, AWS's own policy DSL. It's a way for you to create your own IAM, and model it as you like. It has its own specification, and embedding Cedar into applicat
