[**Case Study**] "Incrementally migrating a Python monorepo from Bazel to Pants"
<https://developer.ibm.com/blogs/case-study-incrementally-migrating-a-python-monorepo-from-bazel-to-pants/>

> Watson Orders is an IBM Silicon Valley based technology development group targeting the development of world-class conversational AI. This posts walks through the process of migrating off Bazel, where they maintained 19,000 lines of BUILD file metadata, to Pants where that was slashed to 2,400 lines thanks to [dependency inference](doc:/how-does-pants-work#dependency-inference). CI build time for PRs dropped from 10-12 minutes with Bazel to under 4 minutes with Pants.

[**Case Study**] "Astranis Case Study: Wrangling Python In a Monorepo"
<https://blog.pantsbuild.org/astranis-case-study-wrangling-python-in-a-monorepo/>
> <i>"...We found it incredibly easy to hook in our existing remote caching systems to Pants, and added other nice features like running tailor in a check-only mode to highlight any inconsistencies in our repo. As a side benefit, Pants has helped us gain better insight into our repository by being able to easily scan for and report the transitive dependencies of modules. Having that insight has helped us plan out how to minimize the coupling of our modules..."</i>
