Bazel 9.x — Build System Documentation

Source: bazel.build/docs | bazel.build/start | bazel.build/reference | bazel.build/extending | bazel.build/community

Overview

Bazel is a fast, hermetic, multi-platform build system that uses a high-level build language (Starlark) to describe build properties at a semantic level. It caches all previous work, tracks file content and command changes, and rebuilds only what's necessary. Bazel runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and scales to 100k+ source files.
