Gradle

Gradle Inc. (Gradle Technologies) is the company behind the open-source Gradle Build Tool, downloaded more than 25 million times a month across the Java, JVM, Android, Kotlin, C/C++, and native ecosystems, and Develocity (formerly Gradle Enterprise), its commercial Developer Productivity Engineering platform. Develocity adds Build Scan, Build Cache, Predictive Test Selection, and Test Distribution to accelerate and stabilize builds and tests. The Develocity API is a JSON REST API, described with OpenAPI, that provides programmatic access to build data, failures, tests, projects, project groups, Build Cache node configuration, Test Distribution agent pools, and short-lived access tokens on a self-hosted Develocity instance. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Berlin and Melbourne, Gradle raised a $27M Series C led by Triangle Peak Partners.

Gradle publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Auth API, BuildCache API, Builds API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Company, Developer Tools, Build Automation, Developer Productivity, and CI/CD.

Gradle’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 27 more developer resources.
