Case Study: Criteo reduces build failure resolution time with Gradle Develocity

Criteo reduces build failure resolution from 30 minutes to 30 seconds with Gradle

Criteo, a publicly-traded online advertising provider, faced significant challenges in its heterogeneous development environment where troubleshooting build failures and complex dependency issues was a slow and cumbersome process. Their team struggled to quickly detect problems across multiple tech stacks and CI environments, with engineers often spending excessive time sifting through pages of Jenkins logs to find the root cause of a failure.

By implementing Develocity from Gradle, specifically utilizing Build Scan and Failure Analytics, Criteo gained comprehensive observability into their build and test processes. The solution enabled developers to instantly compare builds and access detailed failure reports, drastically reducing their mean time-to-resolution. As a result, Develocity helped Criteo reduce the time spent resolving build failures from 30 minutes down to just 30 seconds, providing broad observability and dramatically improving developer productivity.
