Gradle in Very Large Projects
When your software project grows into the 100s and 1000s of sub-projects within a single project tree you shouldn't have to compromise on build performance, and the Gradle team has been working hard on optimizing for this high end of enterprise software builds. If you're involved in large projects and are looking for ways to keep the developer experience a happy one with the build, this session is for you.
We will look into unique Gradle features that improve building and developing large applications and how they have helped some large projects stay productive at scale. While new Gradle features can help you achieve faster builds, there are also considerations, optimizations and performance traps that you should know about when working in the very large that we will cover. Finally, we will look at what's in the Gradle development pipeline to improve the experience for those working on extra large software stacks.
