Micro Modular Architecture with Bazel
summary
Bazel is used as the build system with Bazel remote cache and the Apple/Swift rules to build a micro‑modular iOS app split into hundreds of small modules (apps, features, domain, libraries). The approach emphasizes CI speedups via remote caching and modularization, with reported results like 1m30s for a clean build + unit tests, and large build time reductions (20–85%) at companies such as Pinterest, Tokopedia and LINE. Adoption requires substantial tuning and involves some tradeoffs with Xcode.
