[RFC]: Over-Arching Spec for BuildXL and other build system integration with Lage

[dannyvv]

In progress

Overview

We like to add support to lage for external build scheduler.
I'm using this issue as an overview and will create

There are larger build systems that can embed other build systems like BuildXL.
Modern build systems provide great features like sandboxing to ensure dependencies and outputs are declared to what actually happens. With reliable inputs and outputs one can distribute and cache builds reliably to increaes performance.
I want to extend Lage to allow for the specification

Detailed Designs

• Use diagrams

You can use mermaid:

  graph TD;
      A-->B;
      A-->C;
      B-->D;
      C-->D;

Loading

Use images by drag & drop

• Describe different feature areas and how they are architected (designed)
• Make sure another set of developer can roughly understand how your code will be organized after reading this section!

Test Plan

• How will you make sure these features are to be tested
• Specify if leveraging any NEW test framework or techniques

Performance, Resilience, Monitoring

• Discuss any impact on performance (both as a developer and as a consumer)
• Any expected change in the ability to deal with spotty networks (resilience?)
• How will you monitor or collect telemetry on the features?

Security & Privacy

• Will the feature have any security or privacy issues?
• What are some ways to mitigate these issues?

Accessibility

• How will your feature conform to accessibility guidelines
• Check on how you will handle:
  • Keyboard navigation
  • Screen Readers
  • Multiple monitor resolutions
  • High DPI support
  • High Contrast support

World Readiness

• Globalization: how does yoru feature invoke display or manipulate display of currency, dates, timezones, names?
• Localization: how does your feature address localization?
