Maximize Developer Productivity with Gradle Enterprise
In this complimentary workshop offered to you by Gradle, we will be
discussing “Developer Productivity Engineering” (DPE).
If you are not already familiar with DPE, it is a new software
development discipline that uses data analytics and acceleration
technologies to speed up the critical software development
processes—from builds to testing to CI—and make them more efficient.
In this hands-on training with labs we will describe DPE processes and
best practices in action—using examples from Java projects that rely
on Maven or Gradle build tools.
At a high level you will learn how to:
- Leverage build and test acceleration technologies like build
caching and distributed testing to instantly speed up feedback
cycles as much as 90%. - Cut debugging and troubleshooting time in half using data
analytics to rapidly identify incident root causes and better
manage avoidable failures like flaky tests. - Continuously improve performance and guard against regressions
through metric, KPI and trend observability.
More specifically, this training will cover how to:
- Accelerate debugging and root cause analysis leveraging “build
scans” - Achieve significant reductions in local and remote build times using
“build caches” - Avoid performance regressions and continuously
improve toolchain reliability with performance management “analytics” - Detect, prioritize and eliminate the most damaging flaky tests
utilizing a “test dashboard” - Integrate with Git/Jenkins
The end-result of pursuing DPE excellence will be a transformative and
highly satisfying developer experience.
Audience
Gradle and Maven build tool users interested in speeding up builds are
encouraged to attend the training.
About Raju Gandhi
Raju is a software craftsman with almost 20 years of hands-on experience scoping, architecting, designing, implementing full stack applications.
He provides a 360 view of the development cycle, is proficient in a variety of programming languages and paradigms, experienced with software development methodologies, as well an expert in infrastructure and tooling.
He has long been in the pursuit of hermeticism across the development stack by championing immutability during development (with languages like Clojure), deployment (leveraging tools like Docker and Kubernetes), and provisioning and configuration via code (toolkits like Ansible, Terraform, Packer, everything-as-code).
Raju is a published author, internationally known public speaker and trainer.
Raju can be found on Twitter as @looselytyped.
In his spare time, you will find Raju reading, playing with technology, or spending time with his wonderful (and significantly better) other half.
