J-Fall 2023: Speeding up Jenkins, Gradle, and Maven with a Build Cache – Justin Reock

What if your CI builds and tests could be ten times faster? The Gradle and Maven Build Cache can improve your life as a developer by reducing the amount of time you spend waiting on your Java, Scala, and Kotlin builds, whether locally or as part of your automated CI. By storing compiled classes, test outputs, and other such artifacts, the build cache facilitates the reuse of output from any previously invoked Gradle task. In this breakout session, we’ll take a closer look at how the build cache works and demonstrate how to best adapt it to your projects. You’ll come away with a better understanding of: – What is Build Cache and how does it benefit your Jenkins and Maven builds? – How does Maven Build Cache work? – Real world Build Cache success stories for Jenkins and Maven builds? Join Justin Reock, Chief Evangelist and Field CTO of Gradle, Inc. to learn how a few simple changes to your build configuration can put valuable time back into your day.
