Bazel build system: build containerized applications faster

For the last nine months, I’ve been working on a large migration of multiple interconnected software projects from the CMake to the Bazel build system. While doing so, I’ve learned about Bazel’s capability for building and publishing container images. Bazel is a multi-language build system with a strong focus on hermeticity, which means that when given the same source code, Bazel will produce the same build artifacts, even on different machines (if properly configured). This property allows you to set up a remote cache for the artifacts that you can share between your developers and continuous integration (CI) system to significantly speed up your workflow.
