| description.long | A cloud-based platform providing remote build execution and intelligent caching for Bazel projects, enabling development teams to parallelize builds across thousands of cores and dramatically reduce overall build times. | Rollup is a module bundler that compiles JavaScript code written as ES modules into various output formats for compatibility with different environments. It performs static analysis to eliminate unused code and can target modern browsers with native ES module support or legacy environments requiring CommonJS or UMD output. |
