In this session, we’ll focus on the Gradle Build Tool, which is an open-source build automation tool flexible enough to build almost any type of software. We’ll start with a brief review of Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE) and its focus on speeding up your builds. From there, we’ll dive right into Gradle builds and how we optimize them with Gradle Enterprise.
