Optimize Bazel builds for large-scale monorepos. Use when configuring Bazel, implementing remote execution, or optimizing build performance for enterprise codebases.

Bazel Build Optimization Production patterns for Bazel in large scale monorepos. When to Use This Skill Setting up Bazel for monorepos Configuring remote caching/execution Optimizing build times Writing custom Bazel rules Debugging build issues Migrating to Bazel Core Concepts 1. Bazel Architecture 2. Key Concepts Concept Description Target Buildable unit (library, binary, test) Package Directory with BUILD file Label Target identifier //path/to:target Rule Defines how to build a target Aspect Cross cutting build behavior Templates and detailed worked examples Full template library and detailed worked examples live in references/details.md . Read that file when you need the concrete templates. Best Practices Do's Use fine grained targets Better caching Pin dependencies Reproducible builds Enable remote caching Share build artifacts Use visibility wisely Enforce architecture Write BUILD files per directory Standard convention Don'ts Don't use glob for deps Explicit is better Don't commit bazel \ dirs Add to .gitignore Don't skip WORKSPACE setup Foundation of build Don't ignore build warnings Technical debt
