Hermetiq for Buildbarn

Buildbarn observability without assembling another monitoring stack.

Hermetiq correlates Buildbarn infrastructure signals with the Bazel builds and actions that produced them, helping operators move from a saturated queue or cache regression to the workload responsible.

What you can answer

See the build and its infrastructure as one system.

  • Scheduler queue depth and wait time
  • Worker saturation and platform-queue health
  • CAS and action-cache behavior
  • Build, target, action, and cost attribution

Questions Hermetiq helps answer

Move from an infrastructure symptom to the workload behind it.

Buildbarn exposes powerful infrastructure primitives. Hermetiq connects those signals to the Bazel builds, targets, and actions your team is trying to improve.

Queue pressure

Which platform queue is saturated, and which builds are creating the demand?

Action latency

Are slow actions waiting for a worker, transferring inputs, or executing?

Cache behavior

Did cache behavior change because action inputs, commands, platforms, or environments changed?

Cost attribution

Which builds, targets, and action types are driving storage and execution cost?

Integration model

Keep Buildbarn. Add the intelligence layer above it.

The exact signals depend on your Buildbarn topology and telemetry configuration. Hermetiq starts with the data your build and infrastructure already produce.

01

Connect Bazel build events

Send structured Build Event Protocol data so Hermetiq can understand invocations, targets, tests, timing, and outcomes.

02

Connect available Buildbarn signals

Add the completed-action, metrics, logs, or traces exposed by your deployment and observability stack.

03

Investigate one system

Correlate a Bazel build with queueing, worker, cache, transfer, execution, and cost evidence.

Product evidence

See the operational layers separately—and together.

Hermetiq remote execution phase analysis dashboard

Remote execution phase analysis

Separate queueing, input transfer, execution, and output transfer instead of treating remote time as one number.

Hermetiq build and action cost attribution dashboard

Build and action cost attribution

Connect infrastructure consumption to builds, targets, and action types so teams can prioritize the expensive work.

Deployment

Choose the operating model that fits your build data.

Managed cloud

Use Hermetiq as a managed build-intelligence service while keeping Bazel and Buildbarn as your execution foundation.

Self-hosted

Run Hermetiq in your own environment when your security, compliance, or data-boundary requirements demand it.
