Bonanza: A Cloud-Native Future for Bazel?

On Bazel's 10th anniversary, a project called Bonanza is gaining attention. It aims to completely revamp Bazel, moving the entire build process to the cloud to address Bazel's shortcomings in both large and small projects. Bonanza achieves truly incremental builds by remotely executing all operations, including dependency management and build graph construction, resulting in significantly faster build times. While still in proof-of-concept, its design and technical potential offer a new direction for future build systems, hinting at a cloud-native build era.
