Moving TypeScript code into a Bazel monorepo

Aspect's rules_js and rules_ts have made significant strides in integrating Bazel with TypeScript projects, offering a more efficient build process for Dev Infra teams considering migration. While Bazel presents risks due to its lower popularity among TypeScript build tools, it provides an opportunity for enhanced code governance and dependency management, especially within monorepos. The integration process involves careful planning, including a proof-of-concept phase, and requires developers to adapt to new workflows such as using pnpm instead of npm or yarn. Additionally, governance structures must be established to maintain code consistency and manage dependencies effectively. Transitioning to a monorepo setup involves meticulous migration of code from multiple repositories, ensuring minimal disruption and preserving git history. To succeed, developers must embrace trunk-based development underpinned by Continuous Integration practices, where dependencies are always at the latest version, and library changes are immediately impactful. Setting up CI/CD workflows is crucial, with tools like Bazel promising faster builds, although initial setup phases might introduce slowdowns. The overarching goal is to foster a collaborative environment where code sharing and consistent development practices are the norm.
