Lightning Talk – Testing Bazel’s Remote Execution API

on YouTube ↗11m

" summary

An open test harness exercises the Remote Execution API by spinning up real clients and servers (Bazel, BuildStream) against backends (Buildbarn, Buildfarm, BuildGrid; RBE excluded) and running a full build of Bazel itself as the workload to measure correctness and speed. The project records end-to-end build times, collects CPU/memory and gRPC traces where available, posts a compatibility matrix, and runs weekly via GitLab CI with Terraform and EKS.
