Gradle Build Cache: Deliver faster by doing less
Fast software delivery means that your build performance matters—especially when you're running dozens of tests, compiling thousands of classes, or pushing changes through CI multiple times a day.
Build caching and related performance gains have made Gradle Build Tool one of the most popular tools in the JVM ecosystem and a default option in many tool stacks, from Spring Boot to Android. In 2025, Gradle's caching capabilities will continue to evolve.
In this talk, we'll discuss how Gradle's build cache can help you cut down your build times by reusing task outputs from previous runs. We'll review real-world examples from open source projects that are using a free Gradle-sponsored Develocity instance to leverage local and distributed caching. We'll also share pointers for developers looking to level up their Gradle Build Tool skills, such as how to get certified with the help of DPE University.
- The basics of local build caching—how it works, key aspects for build and test avoidance provided by Gradle, and how to analyze and maximize the cache hits.
- The tools provided by Gradle, including recently introduced features offering better analytics.
- Remote build caching with Develocity Build Cache, and how to share cached outputs across machines to speed up both CI pipelines and day-to-day development workflows.
