About This Article
iOS development teams at companies like LinkedIn, Tinder, Snapchat, and Reddit needed a way to share their Bazel build practices and learnings across organizations.
Jerry Marino and Square organized the first Bazel-iOS Con on September 29, 2022 at Square Headquarters in San Francisco. The event ran a full day with keynotes, talks about production migrations, breakout sessions, and social time.
The conference created a space where companies could learn from each other about production migrations, performance optimizations, and the rules_ios roadmap. Remote speakers and recorded talks made it possible for people who couldn't attend the 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PST event to still participate.
