Gradle Technologies

Release announcements, tips, and events focused on boosting developer productivity with Gradle Build Tool and Develocity.

[Gradle Technologies @gradle]

New from #Gradle!

🌐 #Develocity Universal Cache 🌐

Three revolutionary caching technologies in one place:

📦 Artifact Cache - Caching inputs before the build

⏱️ Setup Cache - Caching environments at build time

🔄 Build Cache - Caching outputs for future builds

Running your full test suite on every PR is a choice — not a requirement.

#Develocity Predictive Test Selection runs only the tests affected by a given change.
Same coverage. Faster feedback. ML-trained on your build history.

#CI #testing #DPE

#Gradle dependency locking for reproducible builds:

// https://t.co/DgFsMApKrv
org.gradle.dependency.verification=strict

dependencyLocking {
lockAllConfigurations()
}

Pins transitive versions. Prevents silent upgrades. Required for any serious supply chain story. #DevSecOps

You never chose gradle/actions. You clicked "Set up a workflow," took GitHub's suggestion, and have run it on every commit since.
45,000+ repos got there the same way. 👇

Ephemeral CI runners re-resolve deps from scratch on every build.

At AI commit volume, that egress adds up fast.

#Develocity Artifact Cache serves deps locally — fast, low-egress, provenance intact.

📣 #Gradle 9.6.1 is out!

https://t.co/jyZBGZ4vCY

Fixes regressions reported against 9.6.0.

#Develocity Universal Cache — three layers:
- Artifact Cache: deps before the build
- Setup Cache: build setup before the build
- Build Cache: task outputs across builds

Each layer eliminates a different category of repeated work.

[Gradle Technologies @gradle]

🆕 New post: Artifact Cache + JFrog Artifactory — better together in the GenAI era.

Artifactory = system of record. Develocity Artifact Cache = local serving.
Faster cold starts. Lower egress. Provenance intact.

[Gradle Technologies @gradle]

The weakest link in most CI pipelines isn't the code — it's unverified dependencies.

#Develocity tracks provenance from source to artifact. No manual audits.

📣 Gradle 9.6.0 is out!

https://t.co/UaYPIImSmj

Bug fixes and…

🎯 Improved Configuration Cache hit rates
💻 Additional CLI rendering options
⚠️ Important project hierarchy lookup deprecations

Please report any 🐛 on GitHub!

[Gradle Technologies @gradle]

Quick tip 🛠️ Lock your #Gradle dependency versions:

// https://t.co/DgFsMApKrv
org.gradle.dependency.verification=strict

Prevents resolution to unexpected versions.
Pairs with dependency verification for full integrity.

#DevSecOps

[Gradle Technologies @gradle]

Build provenance answers: "Did this artifact come from a trusted, clean build?"

#Develocity Provenance Governor makes that answerable for every build, automatically.

Quick tip 🛠️ #Gradle dependency verification:

// settings.gradle.kts
dependencyVerification {
verify {
checksumAlgorithms.add("SHA-256")
}
}

Checksums for every resolved dep. First step in build-time supply chain security.

#DevSecOps

Dependency compliance scoring in #Develocity 2026.1:
- See which projects violate policy
- Dashboard across all repos
- Flag before it ships

[Gradle Technologies @gradle]

Software supply chain security starts at the build.

#Develocity Provenance Governor:
- Cryptographic build provenance
- Dependency compliance scoring
- Artifact traceability across all projects

Android CI at scale:
- 160 modules → cache miss nightmare without tooling
- #Develocity + Build Validation Scripts = systematic diagnosis
- 57% faster builds at DuckDuckGo

#Android #Gradle

[Gradle Technologies @gradle]

Quick tip 🛠️ Parallel module builds in #Gradle:

// https://t.co/DgFsMApKrv
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.workers.max=8

Faster multi-module Android builds. Start here before caching.
