6.1 Shared Bazel Services
Sections in this chapter · 5
6.1.1Bazel as a Shared Service
Understand what changes when many developers and CI jobs depend on Bazel caches, execution, and result services.
6.1.2Measuring Builds Fairly
Build reproducible Bazel cohorts so a faster cache, execution, CI, or capacity result is a valid comparison rather than a workload mismatch.
6.1.3Choosing Remote Cache or Execution
Choose remote caching, remote execution, both, or neither from measured workload benefits, displaced costs, reliability, and operational ownership.
6.1.4Action and Result Lifecycle
Map an action across the Bazel client, cache, scheduler, worker, and result pipeline so symptoms can be assigned to the right layer.
6.1.5Safe Infrastructure Rollouts
Roll out Bazel clients and shared build services through tested compatibility combinations, bounded canaries, and state-aware recovery.
