Introducing Remote Bazel - Making Builds Faster and More Consistent

Learn about Remote Bazel in this 11-minute conference talk from BuildBuddy's Maggie Lou at the Linux Foundation. Explore how Remote Bazel enhances build processes by running the Bazel client server and commands remotely, ensuring faster and more accurate builds. Discover how this solution maintains warm analysis and repository caches even with ephemeral CI runners, eliminating the need for repeated image pulls, dependency installations, and git repository cloning. Understand the benefits of executing builds in the same datacenter as remote cache and executors, reducing network bottlenecks and egress costs. See how Remote Bazel ensures consistent build environments across different operating systems and tool versions, even for developers without Bazel installations. Gain insights into the implementation details and various applications, from CI acceleration to UI augmentation and improved CLI developer experience.
