Case Study: Delivery Hero reduces build times by 50% with Gradle Develocity

Develocity helps Delivery Hero reduce build times by 50% and succeed with DevOps initiatives

Delivery Hero, a company in the retail and eCommerce industry, faced challenges with slow developer feedback cycles caused by long build and test times on both local and CI environments. This lack of performance observability and difficulty troubleshooting issues created friction that hindered their DevOps initiatives. To address these problems, they turned to Gradle and implemented its Develocity platform.

By leveraging Gradle's Develocity solutions, including the Build Cache for reusing outputs and Build Scan for deep observability, Delivery Hero achieved a 50% reduction in build and test feedback cycle times. These tools also enabled their developer productivity team to succeed in their DevOps goals and prevent future performance regressions. This outcome was so significant that the company repaid its investment in Gradle's Develocity in less than three months.
