# [Bazel](https://bazel.build)
*{Fast, Correct} - Choose two*
Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.
* **Speed up your builds and tests**:
Bazel only rebuilds what is necessary.
With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and
parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.
* **One tool, multiple languages**: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go
and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS,
and Linux.
* **Scalable**: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase and Continuous
Integration system.
It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.
* **Extensible to your needs**: Easily add support for new languages and
platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language
rules written by the growing Bazel community.
