Gradle Build Performance

This walks you through the full build optimization cycle: measure baseline, generate a build scan, identify whether you're bottlenecked in configuration or execution, apply one fix at a time, and verify improvement. It covers the usual wins like configuration cache, build cache, and parallel execution, plus Android-specific stuff like migrating kapt to KSP and enabling non-transitive R classes. The side-by-side tables showing bad versus good patterns (dynamic dependencies, eager task creation) are genuinely helpful. What I like is the focus on measurement discipline, not just throwing gradle.properties flags at the wall. If your builds are slow and you don't know why, start here and work through the diagnostics systematically.
