This repository houses the example code to the talk "Comparing Buck2 and Bazel" at Build Meetup 2023. These examples assume that you are running on a Linux x86_64 platform with all requirements installed (build-essential, clang, rustup/cargo, ghcup/ghc, zstd, bazel, buck2, and all rules_haskell dependencies).
The code for each section is held in its own branch:
- 01-bazel-get-started
- 01-buck2-get-started
- 02-bazel-minimal
- 02-buck2-minimal
- 03-bazel-basic
- 03-buck2-basic
- 04-bazel-isolation
- 04-buck2-isolation
- 05-buck2-rbe
- 05-bazel-rbe
- 06-bazel-incremental
- 06-buck2-incremental
Each branch includes a test.sh script listing the relevant commands to test
the example.
Additionally the branch 00-bazel-worker holds a patched version of the Bazel
code base that includes a remote worker compatible with Buck2 for testing. The
branch includes a script remote-worker.sh that builds and starts the remote
worker.
You can use the included setup.py to checkout all the branches into git
worktrees and optionally install a distrobox with all requirements installed,
assuming that you have distrobox installed.
