Bazel is, simply put, a build tool. In other words, it turns source code into software.

If you've ever heard of Make, Maven or Gradle, Bazel does the same thing as those tools.

The big difference between Bazel and other build tools is it can build software faster, because it uses clever techniques like caching, which allows it to avoid spending time re-building software if it's already been built once.

I hope this helps! :)
