BuildBuddy provides enterprise features for Bazel — the open source build system that allows you to build and test software 10x faster.buildbuddy.io Palo Alto, CaliforniaJoined March 2020
Great reason to use @bazelbuild and @buildbuddy! Remote caching and remote execution are the answer to this explosion in test runs & CI usage - we're seeing it across all of our customers. Never do the same work twice!
At Anthropic, Claude now writes 80% of our code. Engineers ship 8x more code per quarter.
Side effect: Tests grew 10x. CI jobs up 25x in 6 months. Here's what helped us scale:

Codex CLI can now be built for Windows MSVC runtime fully hermetically in remote executors.
This was the final validation pass for the MSVC support in hermetic-llvm project.

This process is so heavy that it would be simply impracticable to do in normal circumstances.
This is made possible thanks to Remote Builds distributed on thousands of cores using @buildbuddy.
It's done as part of the same graph as the final target. This is madness...
"you can't do math on encrypted data"
ring homomorphisms: ...and I took that personally.
homomorphic encryption is some of the most "but *how*?!" math I know: a server does inference on your data while it's still encrypted, then computes a (correct!) answer it cannot read, to a
Incremental builds deserve an incremental cache. Major props to Tyler French from the @buildbuddy team for landing this change in @bazelbuild that reduces cache uploads and disk cache size by 40%+ buildbuddy.io/blog/content-d…
I am using @bazelbuild to download a Zig nightly build
To then build the same Zig version from source (we have patches)
Using a custom LLVM source repo
Which is also built from source
And all of this using remote execution with @buildbuddy.
@siggi@buildbuddy Exactly ! I show everyone I can how I’m pretty much alone doing codex cloud at this scale just because I don’t care containers are only 2 cores. While every other agents wait minutes doing things locally, mine loop at light speed while everything compiles and test w/ @buildbuddy
Beyond excited to welcome @SmileyKeith to the BuildBuddy team! Keith is the maintainer of Bazel's iOS support, a contributor to LLVM and Swift, creator of the Mobile Native Foundation, and an all around awesome human.

Large engineering teams use Bazel to tame their ever-growing monorepos. Today, I'm excited to share rules_codex, a hermetic cross-platform Bazel toolchain and ruleset for OpenAI's Codex coding agent designed to make working in large enterprise codebases fun again.
I've been building at the intersection of Bazel + coding agents for a few months and have some fun things to share. The first one is a hermetic, cross-platform Claude Code toolchain let's you easily use Claude in Bazel builds, tests, and runs. Link & more below!
@buildbuddy is hiring ops-minded engineers.
Closest known title is SRE.
Really the job is "offer world-best build perf & uptime while driving customer costs down using colocated hardware and the cloud."
Write me / @siggi / @tylerbw to learn more.
Another great technical blog post by Maggie Lou on all the nitty gritty details of how we scale warm runners with snapshotting, chunking, cloning, and more. buildbuddy.io/blog/fast-runn…
