Enable connection pooling for the remote REST cache Connection pooling is a useful optimization for REST caches that are far away as it avoids constantly redoing the TCP handshake. It also prevents large builds from exhausting the local interface's source ports through tens of thousands of one-transaction connections. The default connection pool size of 20 is fairly arbitrary. Users probably want to set this to something close to the value of --jobs. We introduce some generic infrastructure for closing remote cache instances and use it to cleanly shutdown the connection pool between builds.

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
