Specially for large enterprise builds, the build performance is critical. Yet the build must be reliable and should be intuitive to use. Gradle offers plenty of features to support this: Gradle keeps a history of past build executions, provides ready to use and performant tools for change detection. You will learn about the unique Gradle incremental compile with a state-of-the-art dependency analysis. We will show Gradle’s multi-threaded test execution and the advantages of a fully customizable fork frequency. You will also learn about Gradle’s smart skipping and the many ways how you can control the execution of a multi-project build and optimize it for certain use cases. All this is provided out-of-the-box for standard Java project’s. Yet Gradle provides all this not via a rigid framework but by a rich domain model. That way all those features a part of an extremely customizable, true build language.
