About:
Bazel is an open-source build and test tool that supports large, multi-language projects. It provides fast, reproducible builds through advanced caching and parallelization. Its scalable architecture makes it ideal for complex software environments.

Key Features:

Multi-language and multi-platform support
Fast, incremental, and reproducible builds
Scalable for massive codebases and repositories
Extensible with custom rules and actions

Use Cases:

Building large-scale, monolithic applications
Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines
Managing complex build graphs across multiple languages

Alternatives:

Maven – Primarily for Java, uses XML for project configuration
Gradle – More flexible DSL for Java projects, but less focused on massive multi-language scale
Make – A general-purpose build tool that requires manual dependency management
