    It can be. By default it is local.

    But it has protobufs interfaces (IIRC), so a distributed build farm would generate the grpc endpoints for their implementation and then you tell bazel on the command line (or via .bazelrc) the address of the build farm it can use.

    There's a couple of projects that implement the distributed/grpc part, the main one is https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm

    Not sure what to say concerning buildfarm's remote execution.

    Reading an issue I've opened 1y ago [1], seems the backend requires the client to have a specific gcc version.

    That's a strong limitation imho.

    You can also set up a remote build service that uses the same environment you run the containers in using something like https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm
  • Distributed build clusters

    Currently migrating to Bazel + bazel remote execution via Bazel buildfarm. Bazel has native support for build clusters.
