Why Gradle?

Speed that scales, builds you can trust, and the flexibility to automate any workflow, from a solo project to an enterprise monorepo.

Comprehensibility

Expressive DSLs in Kotlin and Groovy make even the most complex build logic readable and maintainable.

Scalability

From solo projects to enterprise monorepos, build times stay proportional to change, not total project size.

Reliability

Reproducible outcomes, safe caching, dependable parallel execution. Your build results should never be surprising.

Adaptability

A rich plugin ecosystem lets teams automate any scenario, from build to deployment, exactly the way they need.

Fast, Dependable, and Adaptable

Gradle delivers speed that scales, builds you can trust, and the flexibility to automate any workflow. It's no wonder millions of developers rely on Gradle to build their software.

Gradle for teams

Keep older Gradle versions secure, and make every build faster and healthier.

Gradle Security Subscription

Is your Gradle version still getting security fixes?

Open-source fixes only reach the latest minor of the current and previous major. Anything older is end-of-life software building what you ship to production.
