Bazel: {Fast, Correct, Seamless}: Choose 3
summary
LinkedIn moves Go from mixed Makefile/Gradle chaos (roughly 50% legacy, 50% native go) to Bazel by using Bzlmod and go_deps so go.mod becomes the source of truth, adding native multi-module support to Gazelle, pregenerating code then running gazelle to keep IDEs consistent, and shipping a setup rule that bootstraps the Go SDK, writes VS Code settings, sets GOPATH/GOMOD env vars and integrates with direnv so shells and LSPs see the same workspace and developer adoption rises across the polyrepo.
