# Bazel Build Optimization
Production patterns for Bazel in large-scale monorepos.
## When to Use This Skill
- Setting up Bazel for monorepos
- Configuring remote caching/execution
- Optimizing build times
- Writing custom Bazel rules
- Debugging build issues
- Migrating to Bazel
## Core Concepts
### 1. Bazel Architecture
```
workspace/
├── WORKSPACE.bazel # External dependencies
├── .bazelrc # Build configurations
├── .bazelversion # Bazel version
├── BUILD.bazel # Root build file
├── apps/
│ └── web/
│ └── BUILD.bazel
├── libs/
│ └── utils/
│ └── BUILD.bazel
└── tools/
└── bazel/
└── rules/
```
### 2. Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Target** | Buildable unit (library, binary, test) |
| **Package** | Directory with BUILD file |
| **Label** | Target identifier `//path/to:target` |
| **Rule** | Defines how to build a target |
| **Aspect** | Cross-cutting build behavior |
## Templates and detailed worked examples
Full template library and detailed worked examples live in `references/details.md`. Read that file when you need the concrete templates.
## Best Practices
### Do's
- **Use fine-grained targets** - Better caching
- **Pin dependencies** - Reproducible builds
- **Enable remote caching** - Share build artifacts
- **Use visibility wisely** - Enforce architecture
- **Write BUILD files per directory** - Standard convention
### Don'ts
- **Don't use glob for deps** - Explicit is better
- **Don't commit bazel-\* dirs** - Add to .gitignore
- **Don't skip WORKSPACE setup** - Foundation of build
- **Don't ignore build warnings** - Technical debt
