Paxos views Develocity as mission-critical to their developer productivity strategy
The problem
Slow feedback cycles & failure remediation
- Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI
- Inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests
“Develocity scales well and will meet the service-level expectations of any enterprise-wide deployment.”
“Develocity is an important enabling technology for our digital transformation strategy.”
The solution
Accelerated testing and increased observability for test failures
- 1Build Cache to reduce build times by enabling the reuse of unchanged build and test outputs that are unaffected by new code.
- 2Build Scan® to provide observability and comprehensive reports on all aspects of builds to decrease troubleshooting time and MTTR.
- 3Predictive Test Selection to only run tests that deliver meaningful results and Test Distribution to accelerate testing through modern parallelism.
- 4Test Failure Analytics to proactively find unreliable builds and flaky tests for prioritization and resolution.
The outcome
Immediate payback from Develocity solutions
- Payback from deploying Build Cache and Build Scan solutions was “immediate.”
- Paxos describes Build Cache as a “killer feature” and reported that time savings experienced by accelerating build and test cycle times has “dramatically improved developer productivity.”
- Paxos now views Gradle as a strategic technology partner that “exceeds our expectations for service and support and as a strategic technology partner.”
