One of the main benefits of Bazel (and similar systems) is that you get a build cache that you can mostly trust. When you have a project that takes an hour or more to build and test, and lots of machines to run a distributed build, it really makes a difference.

If you have a small project that you can rebuild in a couple of minutes, Bazel is probably an overkill.
