  Description     : Fast and correct automated build system by Google

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to
build the majority of Google's software, and thus it has been designed to
handle build problems present in Google's development environment, including:

 * A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from
   source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism
   to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale
   its software development practices as the company grows.

 * An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for
   correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a
   continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate
   bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.

 * Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to
   support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used
   to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures
   from the same underlying codebase.
