We partner with organizations that make developer productivity and experience a priority.
Productivity is at the heart of the developer experience
We empower software development teams to reach their full potential for joy, creativity, and productivity. As a result, companies build better software faster, more efficiently, and at scale.
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.”
Github survey - Impact on dev experience 2023“67% of surveyed IT organizations experienced an inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests.”

That's where we come in.
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.
