How Apollo Kotlin leverages Gradle Enterprise to Rev Up Build Times

The maintainers of Apollo Kotlin, a project that uses Gradle as its build tool, have integrated Gradle Enterprise into their workflow to optimize their builds. Gradle Enterprise is a platform that helps boost developer productivity by providing features such as unlimited and automatic build scan invocations, data privacy, cross-build analysis, and failure analytic tools. By integrating the Gradle Enterprise plugin with their `settings.gradle.kts` file, the team was able to enable remote build cache, which reuses the results of previous task executions stored on a remote machine. This significantly reduced their build times, from around 28 minutes to just 4 minutes. The team has also gained confidence and visibility in their build process and is now applying the findings to improve the Apollo Gradle Plugin itself. They are eager to explore further optimizations such as configuration cache and predictive test selection.
