Develocity helps Hinge reduce build time by 50% and accelerate productivity initiatives

The problem

Slow feedback cycles & failed DevOps initiatives

  • Slow builds and tests had an increasingly negative impact on development team productivity and efficiency.
  • A lack of observability into build and test performance regressions, failure trends, and productivity bottlenecks resulted in troubleshooting challenges and delays in problem resolution.
  • Difficulty achieving success with DevOps initiatives due to friction in the development process like inefficient troubleshooting and feedback cycle performance regressions.
Using Develocity has been great. We've seen a reduction in build times and it's great to be able to keep any eye on any performance regressions. I would (and have) recommend it!


Develocity has been working very nicely for remote caching capabilities as well as analyzing build trends.


Develocity is a mission-critical component of our developer productivity strategy and they consistently exceed our expectations for service and support and as a strategic technology partner.


The solution

Reduced build times & sustained performance gains

  1. 1
    Build Cache to reduce build times by enabling the reuse of unchanged build and test outputs that are unaffected by new code, and Performance Continuity to sustain the performance gains achieved by Build Cache
  2. 2
    Build Scan® to provide observability and comprehensive reports on all aspects of builds — useful in identifying build failures and performance problems
  3. 3
    Failure Analytics to track build and test failures for prioritization and resolution

The outcome

50% reduction in build times

  • Immediate ROI on their investment in Develocity
  • Build Cache reduced build times by 50%
  • Build Scan and Failure Analytics enabled more rapid resolution of failures and granular observability into all build and test processes
