Discover how Block’s Android DevEx team optimized CI performance in a large-scale CI system using advanced Gradle techniques and optimizing ephemeral worker setup. This talk will cover strategies for enhancing build speed and efficiency, managing thousands of simultaneous jobs, and improving CI infrastructure to handle extensive workloads.
As Michael tells us, one of the biggest developer pain points from Block’s quarterly developer survey was long CI queuing times. Michael shares how they began to address this issue with techniques for faster CI builds. In particular, they used Develocity’s build and test observability to optimize their Gradle remote build cache, ultimately speeding up ephemeral CI builds. Learn more about how Develocity’s build and test acceleration technologies can help your project release faster.
