Paxos views Develocity as mission-critical to their developer productivity strategy

The problem

Slow feedback cycles & failure remediation

  • Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI
  • Inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests
Develocity scales well and will meet the service-level expectations of any enterprise-wide deployment.


Develocity is an important enabling technology for our digital transformation strategy.


The solution

Accelerated testing and increased observability for test failures

  1. 1
    Build Cache to reduce build times by enabling the reuse of unchanged build and test outputs that are unaffected by new code.
  2. 2
    Build Scan® to provide observability and comprehensive reports on all aspects of builds to decrease troubleshooting time and MTTR.
  3. 3
    Predictive Test Selection to only run tests that deliver meaningful results and Test Distribution to accelerate testing through modern parallelism.
  4. 4
    Test Failure Analytics to proactively find unreliable builds and flaky tests for prioritization and resolution.

The outcome

Immediate payback from Develocity solutions

  • Payback from deploying Build Cache and Build Scan solutions was “immediate.”
  • Paxos describes Build Cache as a “killer feature” and reported that time savings experienced by accelerating build and test cycle times has “dramatically improved developer productivity.”
  • Paxos now views Gradle as a strategic technology partner that “exceeds our expectations for service and support and as a strategic technology partner.”
