Spotify realizes build feedback cycle time improvements of up to 75%
The problem
Slow feedback cycles locally and on CI
- Slow local and remote/CI test and feedback cycles
- Inefficient build and test debugging and difficulty determining the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests
“The time savings we experienced on build and test cycle times have dramatically improved developer productivity.”
“Gradle consistently exceeds our expectations for service and support and as a strategic technology partner.”
“Develocity is a mission-critical component of our developer productivity strategy.”
“Develocity scales well and will meet the service-level expectations of any enterprise-wide deployment.”
The solution
Faster builds/tests & more efficient troubleshooting
- 1Build Cache to accelerate builds and tests (both locally and on CI)
- 2Build Scan® to make troubleshooting more efficient
- 3Build & Test Failure Analytics and Performance and Failure Trends Dashboards
The outcome
75% improvement in build & test feedback cycles
- Spotify has been using Develocity for more than 2 years and has since formed a dedicated team to focus on Developer Productivity Engineering.
- Spotify experienced up to a 75% improvement in build and test feedback cycle times and a payback period of less than 3 months from deploying Build Cache and Build Scan.
- Spotify describes both Build Scan and Build Cache as a “killer feature.”
