Golang with Bazel, Rules_go & Gazelle: Fixing Pains (Tyler French & Zhongpeng Lin @ Uber) - Oct 2023

Tyler French, Senior Software Engineer at Uber and Zhongpeng Lin, Staff Software Engineer at Uber present on the common challenges faced when using Bazel and Go with rules_go and Gazelle.
Tyler and Lin discuss the intricacies of `nogo`, a static analysis tool within rules_go that runs as part of the compile action. They highlight how changing the nogo settings file invalidates the cache and how to approach solving it.
The pair also covered using Go modules alongside generated code and managing dependencies with extensive `MODULE.bazel` files.
