Bazel

Proper Noun · Open Source

Definitions

  1. An open-source build system designed for speed, reproducibility, and large-scale multi-language codebases. In engineering culture Bazel is often associated with monorepos, strict dependency management, and powerful but opinionated build workflows.

    In plain English: An open-source build system for large and reproducible builds.

    Example: "The monorepo moved to Bazel because incremental builds and remote caching mattered more than keeping every toolchain conventionally simple."
