Visit Bazel

Bazel is an open-source build and test tool that uses a high-level, human-readable build language (Starlark). It supports building and testing projects in multiple languages (Java, C++, Go, Android, iOS, and others) and for multiple platforms (desktop, server, mobile). It achieves fast, incremental builds through advanced caching, parallel execution, and dependency analysis. It is designed to scale to large codebases (100k+ source files) and large user bases, and can be extended to support additional languages and frameworks.
