About the Speakers
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
Supercharging Bazel with nix package manager allows for performing a rapid switch towards full build hermeticity and achieving flexibility which is hard to match at scale (even when compared with containerized approach). However, it comes with the burden of painful, tedious, manual upkeep of mappings that expose nix derivations as Bazel packages.
We present gazelle_nix, a new gazelle extension that automatically generates (and updates) all the definitions required for nix packages to interact with Bazel. In our talk we will showcase the tool, as well as common patterns of using Nix and Bazel in tandem.
