Presentations
Re-envision build execution with the Gradle Worker API
In this presentation we’ll introduce the Gradle Worker API, a new model for safe, concurrent and resource efficient execution of build logic. We’ll take an example plugin and use the features of the API to make our builds run faster and reduce the complexity of our tasks. We’ll show you how to create your own workers running in the Gradle process as well as in long-lived “worker daemons”. We’ll also show how to split your work into items executed concurrently in isolated contexts. This talk will be a mixture of presentation and live demonstration.
