Remote Execution API

[alexfridlyand]

Hello!

Are there any plans to support Remote Execution API (https://github.com/bazelbuild/remote-apis) for bazel?

Hello @alexfridlyand,

It is good idea. We discussed it in our team - to make something like a bazel execution node near a TeamCity agent. Could you specify usage scenarios which you are interesting in?

We are looking for a ways to speed up bazel-native project builds and test executions (like Tensorflow, Angular and abseil-c++, ...).

With Bazel DAGs/hermeticity for bazel-native projects we are expecting to get a significant speed-up / scale-out without writing specific CI code/pipelines.
