Bazel Community Day: Wix Engineering Hosting EngFlow and Google

Inspired by the success of the Bazel Community Day in New York @ Datadog, Wix is hosting the very first Bazel Community Day in Tel Aviv in partnership with EngFlow. This event is free of charge.

In this special event, EngFlow is bringing together well-known Bazel practitioners to share their knowledge and expertise leveraging Bazel.
We’ll hear why the Bazel Community Days were started, how they’ve grown and common challenges that developers face with software builds.

Our speakers include Helen Altshuler (EngFlow Co-founder & CEO), Tomer Pilossof (Head of Wix DevEx), Zachi Nachshon (Tech Lead, Wix Bazel DevEx), Antonio Di Stefano (Software Developer, EngFlow), Tobias Werth and Xudong Yang (Engineers at Google Bazel core team).

In parallel to the main speaker sessions, EngFlow’s Benjamin Peterson will lead a Beginner Bazel bootcamp.
