# Introduction

> What Aspect builds for Bazel teams, and where to start.

Aspect builds infrastructure and tooling for Bazel; the infrastructure also serves Buck2, Pants and any other build system that speaks the Remote Execution API ([supported build systems](/docs/aspect-workflows/platform/features/build-systems)). [Aspect Workflows](/docs/aspect-workflows/platform/overview) gives your builds a remote cache, remote execution, and CI runners that keep Bazel warm between jobs. Every build lands in the [Build Results UI](/docs/aspect-workflows/platform/features/webui), with streaming logs, flaky tests separated from real failures, and a comparison that shows what a change rebuilt.

Aspect Workflows runs on one of two offerings:

* **[Aspect Cloud](/docs/aspect-workflows/cloud/overview)**, Aspect's multi-tenant service, free to start: a remote cache shared by CI and developers, and the Build Results UI.
* **[Aspect Enterprise](/docs/aspect-workflows/enterprise/overview)**, an isolated deployment for your organization, hosted by Aspect or self-hosted in your AWS or GCP account. It adds remote execution, CI runners and selective delivery.

[Choosing an offering](/docs/aspect-workflows/platform/choosing) compares them side by side.

</Tip>

Around that, the free, open-source [Aspect CLI](/docs/cli/overview) runs formatting, linting, BUILD file generation and delivery as tasks that behave the same on a laptop and in CI. We also maintain [rules\_py, rules\_js, rules\_ts and rules\_lint](/docs/bazel).

## Get help

**[Join the Aspect Community Slack](https://slack.aspect.build)**, Aspect's free community support. Ask in `#help` for general support. Join the discussion and see what others are building with the [Aspect CLI](/docs/cli/overview) and [Aspect Extension Language (AXL)](/docs/cli/axl) in the `#cli` and `#axl` channels.

For Bazel and the Bazel rulesets, [Bazel Slack](https://slack.bazel.build) is the best place for support and discussion. Ask about Aspect's [rules\_js](/docs/bazel/javascript) in `#javascript` and [rules\_py](/docs/bazel/python) in `#python`.
