Grazel - A Gradle plugin to automate Bazel migration for Android projects
summary
Grab migrates a hundreds-module Android app to Bazel using Grazel, a Gradle plugin that programmatically generates BUILD and WORKSPACE files, performs compatibility checks, and substitutes Gradle project dependencies with Bazel-built artifacts so modules can be built with Bazel mobile install while others stay on Gradle. It uses a Kotlin-based Starlark DSL and buildifier for correct output, enables incremental migration via a single flag, and reports reduced manual work with parallel CI feedback; open source release planned Q4 2020.
