What developers are saying

BuildBuddy is literally magic. If I ran the stuff it gets done in minutes on my laptop, it would explode.

We migrated our native CI to @bazelbuild + remote execution on @buildbuddy. Median Android native build: 31.5m → 1.8m (-94%) Full end-to-end gate: 43.8m → 12.1m (-72%)

This process is so heavy that it would be simply impracticable to do in normal circumstances. This is made possible thanks to Remote Builds distributed on thousands of cores using @buildbuddy. It's done as part of the same graph as the final target. This is madness...

Bazel
@bazelbuild

Thank you again to @buildbuddy, the Platinum sponsor of #BazelCon 2025! The expertise you share with the Bazel community is invaluable. Listen to Fabian's talk, Rootcausing Rebuilds with “bb explain,” on Tuesday, Nov 11th!

My friends who are actually working *on* LLVM are the ones complaining. Btw, thanks to @corentinanjuna and @buildbuddy a *cold* LLVM build is now 20s, fully cross compiled from *anything* to *anything* (yes even macOS).

It's worth the investment to dial in your remote build execution setup We use buildbuddy, bazel, and nix @etherfuse and the devex difference is night and day

If it was me, I'd use Bazel for that with @buildbuddy - which integrates well with GitHub. Otherwise the Gitlab runners burn minutes waiting for the buildbuddy run to complete.

See how @BalestraPatrick and his team migrated the @Spotify iOS app with @Bazelbuild & @buildbuddy, cutting our build times by up to 4X. 🤯

We just moved from GitHub actions to bazel and buildbuddy, our build times went from 2.5hrs down to 6 minutes.

I followed the official guide to set up BuildBuddy—which you recommended yesterday—this afternoon. The build speed is dozens of times faster, and I haven't encountered any issues like processes abruptly terminating in my wsl2 environment. Thanks for your help!

So I'm trying remote cache for Bazel using buildbuddy & integrating it with github ci Not so optimized (only for POC purposes) but 13m -> 9s this thing was blazingly smart & fast wtf

@buildbuddy sometimes I am frustrated with Bazel but what's keeping me sane and HAPPY is working with BuildBuddy. Just turned on workflows and it was painless -- turned off my GitHub action in favor of it.
