Fast Incremental Bazel builds with ‘Persistent pods’ (Shishir Kumar @ ThoughtSpot) - Oct 2023

Explore how to use "Persistent Pods" to achieve fast incremental Bazel builds in this presentation by Shishir Kumar from ThoughSpot.

Shishir digs into the differences between clean and incremental builds, demonstrating his strategy of leveraging warm Bazel caches with long-living Kubernetes pods as Jenkins agents, alongside local disk caches serving as low-latency persistent volumes. He shares challenges that he faces when implementing this approach and future efforts to improve build time.
