The team helped us to make improvements to local development: no more random bash scripts that you forget to run, incremental builds reduced to seconds from minutes. Also:
- we can deploy our code to environments in Kubernetes with just one command that builds and pushes images;
- adding new libraries or packages to our repo became easy;
- our engineers have both Macbooks and Linux machines, bazel makes it easy to build code across both;
- new engineers can build all our code with just 3 dependencies - bazel, docker and the JVM. The last engineer to join our team managed to build all our code in < 30 minutes on a brand new, empty laptop.
