Another edition of BazelCon has come to a close. We gathered to discuss what matters most in the world of Bazel, learn, network and spend some quality time with like-minded folks.

On 2025-12-26, at 07:35 UTC, the SSL certificates for many *.bazel.build domains expired. This resulted in widespread build breakages for many Bazel users, as several crucial domains serve essential functionality used by nearly all Bazel builds. It was reported by users on GitHub, Slack, and the bazel-discuss mailing list. The outage lasted for approximately 13 hours before being resolved.
Autumn is BazelCon season, and this year was no different: Last month we hosted BazelCon 2025 together with the Linux Foundation and our sponsors.
