# Bazel enables the “integration” in CI

> How Bazel enables real continuous integration across languages and frameworks, beyond the continuous-build-occasional-integration pattern most teams use.

Most teams who say they have a "CI" are not actually integrating the stack, rather they just have
a "continuous build" running their unit tests.

"Integration" ought to mean that we write a test that builds all the components from HEAD,
even across languages and frameworks.

Any time the application fails to ship because of a defect only reproducible after everything has
been merged, and you have rollbacks and missed delivery deadlines, it's an indication there wasn't
true CI.
