The Bazel Opt-in Preview is Here!
summary
Angular 8 ships an opt‑in Bazel preview that plugs into the CLI via the builders API and preserves existing tooling; try it with ng add @angular/bazel after upgrading to Angular 8 and two backup files let you revert. Bazel runs a dependency graph, uses always‑on OTs, supports remote build execution and cloud caches, and scales to 1000‑component example and up to 2,500 internally. Demonstrated speedups include reduced build from 60 to 7.5 minutes when using many remote workers, and the supplied example repos and docs show the configs and limitations.
