Our take

For developers, it is important to find tools that boost productivity and shorten time-to-development. Gradle delivers just that through its open-source build automation software, automating the process of compiling code, testing it and creating files with all necessary dependencies.

The company boasts customers from eBay, Fitbit, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Pinterest, Salesforce, Square and Twitter, whose development teams deploy Gradle Enterprise in order to rapidly deliver quality software at scale. Its open-source build automation has generated considerable appreciation, being downloaded roughly 25 million times a month.

The company has not slowed down in recent years. It acquired Swiss-based software development technology provider Triplequote to expand its productivity solution portfolio. And it has continually improved its product functionality and customer support. With its Develocity platform now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, Gradle's reach has widened even more.
