Bazel is a powerful system for automating the building and testing of software. It’s specifically designed to manage large codebases. However, it must be combined with the monorepo pattern to unlock Bazel’s full potential. However, managing a monorepo with Git can be quite complex. Both submodules and subtrees have many limitations. The Mega from the Web3 Infrastructure Foundation offers an open source solution. Inspired by the Google Piper paper, Mega uses a distributed database to store massive amounts of code. It also achieves compatibility with the Git protocol. When used in conjunction with Bazel, Mega can truly unlock the full potential of these tools, providing a more efficient and scalable solution for managing large code bases.
