Get hands-on training on how to tackle build performance issues with the Maven build cache. Description In this training, you will learn the basics and best practices to make the most of caching in your build. We’ll discuss the different possible architectures, how they affect build performance, and how Gradle Enterprise can help you manage, analyze, and troubleshoot the build cache. Duration 2.5 hours training session followed by 30-minutes Q&A. Audience Maven build tool users, as well as Gradle Enterprise users interested in speeding up builds, are encouraged to attend the training. Prerequisites This course assumes a good understanding of the Java language and working knowledge of Maven. Objectives After this training the participants will be able to: Understand the benefits of using the Maven build cache Use and configure the build cache Optimize build logic for maximum cacheability Maximize the benefits of the build cache with Gradle Enterprise Course Outline Overview Introduction Performance is key Approaches for work avoidance Common use cases Faster Maven builds on CI Visualized savings in Gradle Enterprise What is the build cache? How does it work? Different types of build caches Local build cache Remote build cache Recommended sharing strategy Influencing factors Using the build cache Enabling the cache Adding the Maven extension Generating a build scan Adding the Gradle Enterprise server URL What’s going on under the hood? Configuring the local build cache Lab: Using the local build cache Referencing the Gradle Enterprise credentials Configuring the credentials Enabling the cache on CI Computing the build cache key Build cache operations Lab: Using the remote build cache What makes a build “cacheable”? Cacheability influencing factors Cacheable plugins and goals Customization of caching behavior Configuring the Maven extension Declaring inputs and outputs Disabling cacheability Lab: Equipping goals with caching capabilities Troubleshooting the build cache misses Possible approaches Debug log level console information Finding cause of cache misses Using build scans Requirements for cacheable goals Repeatable goal outputs Stable goal outputs Path sensitivity Input normalization Handling cases affecting cache correctness Overlapping outputs External inputs like system properties File encoding Line endings Symlinks Java versions Lab: Handling cache misses Getting started with the build cache Recommended approach Installing the remote build cache Connecting to Gradle Enterprise Wrap up Documentation and resources Try Gradle Enterprise for free
