BuildBuddy's Remote Bazel solution runs builds on powerful remote runners colocated with cache servers, uses VM snapshots for warm analysis caches, and supports cross-platform builds. Agents can trigger remote runs via the `bb remote` CLI command or a CURL API, with automatic git state mirroring and log streaming. The result is a fast edit-test-iterate loop where agents never need to install Bazel locally and all heavy computation happens remotely. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
