Case Study: Applied Materials cuts build time by 50% with Gradle Develocity

Develocity enables Applied Materials to reduce build time by 50% and recruit top talent by embracing DPE

Applied Materials, a major manufacturing company, was facing significant developer productivity challenges due to slow builds and tests. A lack of observability into performance regressions and failures made troubleshooting difficult and caused delays. To address this, they turned to Gradle and implemented their Develocity platform.

By leveraging Gradle's Develocity Build Cache and Build Scan services, Applied Materials achieved a 50% reduction in build times. The solution provided critical observability, enabling faster resolution of failures and sustained performance gains. This investment was repaid in under three months and also improved the developer experience, helping the company recruit and retain top technical talent.
