Case Study: Revolut cuts Android build times by 75% with Gradle Develocity

Develocity cuts Revolut's build times by 75% for complex Android projects

The financial technology company Revolut faced significant developer productivity challenges as its Android codebase grew. Build and test cycles became excessively long, wasting developer time with slow feedback and making it difficult to troubleshoot failures. This inefficiency negatively impacted Revolut's time-to-market, prompting the search for a solution with vendor Gradle.

By implementing Gradle's Develocity platform, Revolut utilized its Build Cache, Build Scan, and Failure Analytics features. This solution provided reusable build outputs, deep visibility into failures, and actionable insights. The outcome was a 75% reduction in build times and vastly improved troubleshooting, which fully repaid the investment in under three months and dramatically boosted developer productivity.
