👋 Hello, team! I am a software engineer in the aviation industry. Been working with monorepo, python and cloud at my job for some time now. So excited to stumble across pants while searching for a build tool. My most loved feature is the inference capability. It just works automagically 😄 (is there a docs on how this works). I'm really looking forward to learning more. I plan on using it for my side project soon(Maybe for my job too). So far I have been able to implement 2 simple fastapi APIs, with test and linting features using the backend plugins. The documentation was pretty straightforward. I noticed pants don't have k8/docker-compose or knative backend. This is the only docs i haven't found.

Welcome welcome. Re: Dep inference - have you run across this blog? https://blog.pantsbuild.org/why-dependency-inference/

If you have more questions about dep inference after reading that, do feel free to ask. Most of the people who created it are still very active on the team and in slack. Happy to shed more light on how it works.

Thanks @busy-vase-39202, @wide-midnight-78598. The article was helpful. Where is this dependency stored locally? I can see

.pids

and

.pants.d

@witty-crayon-22786 can tell you more about that!
