| # Bazel |
| |
| *{Fast, Correct} - Choose two* |
| |
| Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. |
| It executes as few build steps as possible by tracking dependencies and outputs, |
| controls the build environment to keep builds hermetic, and uses its |
| knowledge of dependencies to parallelize builds. |
