multi-language-bazel-monorepo

I wanted to try to set up a multi-language monorepo using bazel for experimentation purposes. You can follow the journey on YouTube.

2. Bazel Tutorial: How to Build, Run, Test & Query (deps, rdeps, tags).
3. Bazel Tutorial: Python targets with py_library, py_test, py_binary (internal & external deps).
4. GitHub Actions for Bazel Monorepo - Building & Testing (CI).
5. Bazel & Go Tutorial: Targets with go_library, go_test & go_binary (internal & external deps).
6. Bazel & NodeJS Tutorial: library, test & nodejs_binary (internal & external deps).
7. Bazel & Docker Tutorial: Building container images with bazel (local & remote registry).
8. Deploying from a Bazel Monorepo to Heroku.
9. Using Gazelle to Improve Multi-Language Bazel Monorepo.
10. Bazel & Java Tutorial: java_library & java_binary (internal & external dependencies).
11. Bazel & Docker: Using Custom Base Images.

Prerequisites

• bazelisk installed (brew install bazelisk on mac) - bazel launcher that also manages the bazel installation & version using the .bazelversion file.

Useful Commands

Updating npm dependencies from package.json

• bazel run -- @pnpm//:pnpm i --dir $PWD

Build all targets

• bazel build //...

Test all test targets

• bazel test //...

Sync Go Dependencies with go.mod

• bazel run //:gazelle-update-repos

Format BUILD.bazel files (completely generates BUILd.bazel files for go projects)

• bazel run //:gazelle

Run Python web app

• bazel run //projects/python_web
• http://localhost:5000

Run Go web app

• bazel run //projects/go_web
• http://localhost:8080

Run NodeJS web app

• bazel run //projects/node_web
• http://localhost:8080

Run TypeScript app

• bazel run //projects/ts_app
