Rollout the "override external repositories" and the "shared install base" feature on Bazel CI.

This removes basically all I/O and network traffic caused by integration tests, which means we are now... CPU bound! Great. But now that this constant and massive overhead is gone, we can harvest the ripe, low hanging, extremely tasty performance fruit in our tests and do things like https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/a423ac29a7e6571d48aad7decf6f9b5131fb7bb4, where just two lines of change can make a test 2x faster.

This also sets the "--sandbox_default_allow_network=false" flag for all post- and presubmit jobs, which means that our tests (except the ones tagged with "requires-network") now run without networking access - a great win for hermeticity.

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel rebuilds only what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
