Are you looking for very fast build times in your codebases?
Let's try out Bazel! An open-source build tool that can give you the fast build times you need, how can it be embraced? At Scala Days, Software Engineer Natan Silnitsky tells us exactly how.
Building Scala with Bazel
Compilation of very large Scala codebases can be quite slow, Enter Bazel - an open source build tool from Google that allows for very fast build times while maintaining correctness and reproducibility.
In this talk I will share with you the story of how at Wix we have embraced Bazel and managed to dramatically improve our build times.
I will also talk about "Rules Scala" - the Scala plugin for Bazel that has cool features such as "strict deps" and "unused deps" that help keep your build configurations clean and up-to-date.
