Bazel Reviews & Product Details

Bazel comes into it's own when you are integrating multiuple projects using possibly different languages or build setups. At times I am having to run Bazel multuiple times per day to build and integrate my project into the wider code base, but it's not used widely outside that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not easy to use, mainly because it works outside of the general language/environment specific build tools like maven, npm or others. Therefore the documentation support is not so great in everyday documenation. It's hard to implement as you have to re-do everything and the support in IntelliJ apps seems slow/limited. This it's harder to integrate into normal working practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazingly fast bills and very efficient tool chain for my code development processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration is a little bit more difficult than I would prefer but once it is set up it is very very straightforward to maintain Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
