Case Study: Netflix improves Gradle plugin performance and troubleshooting with Develocity from Gradle

Netflix uses Gradle to track 7 plugin management use cases

Netflix faced the challenge of managing and troubleshooting a large set of internal and open-source Gradle plugins used by thousands of developers. Tracking plugin performance, identifying failures, and managing migrations was difficult across both CI and local developer environments. To gain better insight, they turned to Gradle's Develocity platform and its Build Scan service.

By implementing Gradle's Develocity, Netflix gained powerful visibility into their build ecosystem. The solution enabled them to analyze build times, track plugin usage and deprecations, identify migration candidates, and quickly troubleshoot failures. This allowed the team to proactively detect performance regressions, remediate common failure patterns, and significantly improve developer productivity and plugin maintenance.
