        <h1>Correct, reproducible, fast builds for everyone</h1>
        <p class="lead">Bazel is a build tool from Google that builds code
           quickly and reliably. We use it to build the majority of Google's
           software, and it's specifically designed to handle our huge source
           code repositories and our testing and release requirements.
        </p>
      </div>
      <div class="col-sm-4">
        <h3>Fast</h3>
        <p>Bazel is used at Google to build software from a massive, shared
           code repository in which all software is built from source. Caching
           and parallel processing make it fast. (Don't worry. It works for
           small projects, too.)
        </p>
      </div>
      <div class="col-sm-4">
        <h3>Reproducible</h3>
        <p>Bazel was designed with correctness and reproducibility in mind. A
           build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release
           pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated
           on a developer's machine.
        </p>
      </div>
      <div class="col-sm-4">
        <h3>Flexible</h3>
        <p>Bazel's architecture supports many different programming languages
           within Google, and can be used to build both client and server
           software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying
           codebase.
