Fast/Correct: Choose two using Bazel for a monorepo
summary
Bazel organizes a monorepo that compiles TypeScript, Go, Java and Python with shared rules_nodejs, pnpm, swc, esbuild and Tailwind CLI, compiles protobufs into client/server code, and enforces visibility and hermetic toolchains. Builds run remotely across ~30 servers via remote execution, initial cold build takes 33 seconds -> 0.5 seconds on cache hit, and a household-chore tracker repo demonstrates files-in/files-out targets, strict dependency declarations, and reproducible, language-agnostic polyglot builds.
