Bazel: what you give, what you get

Bazel is a build tool that offers a unique approach by requiring engineers to explicitly describe the dependencies of their application, which allows the system to keep outputs up-to-date, fast, and incremental. Unlike other build systems that permit any code to depend on anything, Bazel requires users to group source files into "targets" and specify other targets they depend on, which can enhance build efficiency by minimizing unnecessary re-builds. This process, although requiring some initial work, is often facilitated by tools that automate much of the dependency declaration. Properly defining the dependency graph ensures more accurate and reliable outputs, while also helping to identify and correct undesired dependencies. Bazel's output is a filesystem tree, and it optimizes build processes by reusing previous build results when inputs haven't changed, reducing redundant work and supporting efficient continuous integration (CI) testing.
