A Dash of Bazel
summary
Shows Bazel building Go binaries, composing Docker images, pushing digested artifacts to a registry, and running kubectl apply from Bazel to deploy into two clusters (one on-prem, one GKE) managed by Helmsman and provisioned with Terraform + gcloud. Demo wires a Go proxy and UI to an Elasticsearch backend, runs builds locally, pushes images, and updates pods — the live change successfully rolls out. Includes a past stress example: Cassandra on ~1000 nodes and an autoscale jump from 30 to 900 pods.
