Building a Great Web Application Development Experience with Bazel

This talk shares experiences using Bazel to deliver an intuitive web development workflow that meets high developer experience standards. Learn how Aurora accelerated development and maintenance of 40+ web applications using Bazel's NodeJS toolchain and Aspect.build's rules repositories. Discover how they used Bazel's JSON Trace Profiling to reduce application build times by 50% and test execution times by 70%. Explore their approach to combining Vite and iBazel for hot module replacement and fast iteration loops, while using Gazelle and PNPM to simplify NPM dependency management across a Bazel monorepo. Presented by Pejman Ghorbanzade in this 31-minute Linux Foundation talk.
