A comment on Bazel Fawlty. Parent comment

I can speak for Java only. Most of my Java project, which are using Spring Boot and lots of libraries, gradle (previous is maven) works just fine. If there's any build issue, assume that it's not compilation issue, I just delete the `build/` and `.gradle` folders, then `./gradlew clean build` again.

I've took a hard look as bazel, for what they claim to be fast, correct, but the complicated setup and document just put me off.

Why should we consider bazel over gradle or maven for Java, or any other JVM languages?

Your comment makes it sound like you don't run your build process in a continuous integration environment.

I do. In fact, I'm working on several Spring Boot services that has CI/CD configured on Gitlab. The workflow from push, build, test, release docker image and deploy are all automatic on Gitlab CI.

I don't really view bazel as being that complicated to set up, what makes you think that?
