Productivity

is at the heart of the developer experience

That’s where we come in.

It starts with understanding your greatest productivity pain points

"Developers still say the most time-consuming thing they’re doing at work besides writing code is troubleshooting and waiting on builds and tests"

We created Develocity

to address key points of friction and pain in the development process and drive better business outcomes.

Gradle is pioneering the practice of Developer Productivity Engineering

DPE uses data, processes, and technologies to address the key points of friction in the software development lifecycle.

DPE views developer productivity as a technology challenge, rather than a people problem, that focuses on improving team outcomes as opposed to individual output.

The Journey Continues

The birth of Gradle

Germany circa 2008. Out of deep frustration with working in low-productivity environments, Hans Dockter started an open-source project to make developer interaction with the toolchain more efficient.

In collaboration with co-founder Adam Murdoch working halfway around the world in Australia, the first build automation system for Java developers called Gradle Build Tool was born…as was one of the earliest and best examples of a global and remote-first workplace. Today Gradle employees are located in over 30 countries.
