> Was your project built in multiple languages and tied together using Maven? Or was it just JDK languages/Java?

Exactly that - for one it was a plugin for Alfresco ECM that disobeyed every Alfresco SDK rule :), then a custom Angular frontend that needs to be build according to the plugin - furthermore the business was of that kind that every customer had a specialized build with customization - Bazel would have solved that in a very neat way - including overriding a few source files for a specific customer.

We tried to build then docker images with maven which was just a shitshow considering our problems - however I'm not there anymore but I'd like to have the exact setup that you describe - the big hammer to don't have to deal with all the stupid things - especially as my background is sysadmin and every problem I don't have to solve anymore is good for me :)
