Pandora's journey to 10X faster builds with Gradle
Gradle Summit
Palo Alto · June 22 - 23, 2017
About this Presentation
Pandora's journey to scaling and modernizing our build to support the aggressive growth of our engineering force. Our approach to breaking down a monolithic code base, implementing dependency management, and completely changing our build toolset, which culminated into a 10X faster build and drastically increased engineer productivity. We'll talk about the obstacles and learnings along the way, and look to the future and how we're planning to improve things even further.
