Bazel
Best for Hermetic builds with incremental caching across large projects.
When not Steep learning curve; complex setup.
Fast and scalable build system originally developed and used internally by Google for their massive codebases. Handles projects with hundreds of thousands of source files and complex dependencies. Supports multiple programming languages including Java, C++, Python, Go, and more. Uses incremental builds and caching to avoid redundant work. Commonly adopted by companies building large distributed systems and microservices architectures.
