Building great tools for developers at LinkedIn, with Gradle, 6 years in a row

Learn how Gradle became the heart of project automation at LinkedIn, serving all engineering teams across disparate technology stacks. Converging automation infrastructure on Gradle enables LinkedIn engineering to scale. Highlights:

  • developer productivity
  • consistent dependencies
  • version lifecycle
  • semantic versioning validation

Play on Gradle in production - mid-tier that feeds linkedin.com

linkedin.com is built with EmberJS but under the bonnet there are mid-tier services built with Play Framework. Most Play apps in the world are developed, tested and built with SBT - standard Scala automation tool. At LinkedIn, we are (finally!) using Gradle to drive our production Play apps. Join us to learn how we significantly improved developer productivity by switching from SBT to Gradle.
