# Develocity (develocity.ai) > Develocity is Gradle Inc.'s Developer Productivity platform. It encodes a decade of build and test expertise into a context engineering layer — agents and engines that govern and accelerate software delivery, giving AI the context to ship software with governance and efficiency. Develocity turns the signal every build, test, and dependency already produces into structured context in three stages: **Know** — unify build, test, and dependency signal scattered across every repo and toolchain, local and CI, in one place; **Understand** — turn raw signal into meaning (what failed, what's slow, what's inefficient, why, and what it costs); **Expose** — serve that context via the IDE, Develocity Analytics, and MCP servers to humans and AI agents. Notes: - **Develocity** is the current product name; legacy references may still say **Gradle Enterprise**. - **develocity.ai** is the commercial Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE) platform; **gradle.org** is the open-source Gradle Build Tool. - The two buyer pillars are **Governance** (accountability and policy at AI scale) and **Efficiency** (cut wasted compute, tokens, and developer time). ## Platform & context engineering - [Context Engineering](https://develocity.ai/product/context-engineering-overview/): Turn every build, test, and dependency into structured context for humans and AI agents — the layer between your toolchain and the models. - [How Develocity Works](https://develocity.ai/product/how-develocity-works/): Observe the toolchain, turn it into context, and act on it to keep delivery fast, healthy, and governed. - [Observability Data Platform](https://develocity.ai/product/observability-data-platform/): Where every build lands — each Build Scan ingested at scale, persisted without limit, and served back in seconds. - [Develocity Analytics](https://develocity.ai/product/develocity-analytics/): Query every build across your organization at once, not one Build Scan at a time. - [MCP Servers](https://develocity.ai/product/mcp-servers/): Connect any AI agent to real build data — answers grounded in Build Scans and trends, not guesswork. - [Metadata Enrichment](https://develocity.ai/product/metadata-enrichment/): Know where every build ran and what triggered it — CI, IDE, or AI agent — auto-captured on every Build Scan. - [Build Scan](https://develocity.ai/product/build-scan/): The foundational dataset — a wide, complete record of every build that every capability writes to and every tool, agent, and engineer reads from. - [Develocity Agents](https://develocity.ai/product/develocity-agents/): Autonomous agents that keep builds fast, green, and secure — then stop them sliding back. ## Governance - [Policy Scan](https://develocity.ai/product/policy-scan/): Treat your toolchain like a production system and prove it. - [On-Demand Auditing](https://develocity.ai/product/on-demand-auditing/): Compliance answers from signed facts, on demand. - [Artifact Governance](https://develocity.ai/product/artifact-governance/): A trusted record of every artifact's journey through the delivery lifecycle. - [Security & Compliance](https://develocity.ai/product/security-compliance/): Security and data protection built in at every level — self-hosted or managed SaaS, with SSO, RBAC, audit logging, encryption, and air-gap options. - [Repository Managers](https://develocity.ai/product/repository-managers/): Stabilize unstable upstream repositories that add latency and cause failures as AI scales build volume. ## Efficiency - [Universal Cache](https://develocity.ai/product/universal-cache/): A caching platform for the whole build lifecycle, delivered by Develocity Edge. - [Build Cache](https://develocity.ai/product/build-cache/): Compute each result once; every build agent reuses it, and nobody changes how they build. - [Artifact Cache](https://develocity.ai/product/artifact-cache/): Download dependencies once; serve them from the LAN on every build after. - [Setup Cache](https://develocity.ai/product/setup-cache/): Cache Gradle configuration-phase outputs so ephemeral CI agents stop recomputing them each run. - [Build Caching Optimizer](https://develocity.ai/product/build-caching-optimizer/): Stop paying for build work that didn't need to run. - [Predictive Test Selection](https://develocity.ai/product/predictive-test-selection/): Run only the tests relevant to a change, skip the rest, and record why each test was selected or skipped. - [Test Distribution](https://develocity.ai/product/test-distribution/): Run a build's whole test suite across a shared pool of remote agents, locally and in CI, as one build. - [Failure Analytics](https://develocity.ai/product/failure-analytics/): Every build and test failure grouped by root cause and ranked by the engineering time it costs. - [Flaky Tests Detection](https://develocity.ai/product/flaky-tests-detection/): Tell real failures from noise and keep flaky tests from blocking CI. - [Performance & Efficiency Insights](https://develocity.ai/product/performance-insights/): See where build time and compute go, prove what each fix moved, and find the next bottleneck. ## Build systems & integrations - [Build Systems & Package Managers](https://develocity.ai/product/build-systems-package-managers/): Native events from every build across a polyglot toolchain (Gradle, Apache Maven, sbt, and more), queryable end to end. - [Android](https://develocity.ai/product/android/): Accelerate the large Gradle builds behind Android apps via caching, Build Scan insights, and Predictive Test Selection. - [Integrations](https://develocity.ai/product/integrations/): Connect Develocity to the CI servers, IDEs, observability tools, and AI agents teams already run. - [Deployment Options](https://develocity.ai/product/deployment-options/): Run Develocity fully managed, hybrid, in your own cloud, or self-hosted. ## Solutions - [AI](https://develocity.ai/solutions/ai/): Turn AI coding from unaccountable spend into governed, productive, cost-efficient output — measured against the build and test telemetry every change already produces. - [DORA](https://develocity.ai/solutions/dora/): Move every DORA metric the right way — speed and stability improving together — grounded in the telemetry every build and test already produces. - [Efficiency](https://develocity.ai/solutions/efficiency/): Get more out of everything delivery already pays for — compute, tokens, AI agents, developer time — without shipping less or waiting longer. - [Software Governance](https://develocity.ai/solutions/software-governance/): Prove every artifact's compliance throughout the delivery lifecycle. - [Software Modernization](https://develocity.ai/solutions/software-modernization/): Modernize your toolchain and dependencies with evidence, not guesswork — every change grounded in build telemetry. ## Solutions by industry - [Financial Services](https://develocity.ai/industries/financial-services/): Developer productivity and governance for financial services delivery. - [FinTech](https://develocity.ai/industries/fintech/): Ship faster with governance for FinTech engineering teams. - [Manufacturing & Logistics](https://develocity.ai/industries/manufacturing-logistics/): Build acceleration and observability for manufacturing and logistics software. - [Media & Entertainment](https://develocity.ai/industries/media-entertainment/): Faster, more reliable delivery for media and entertainment platforms. - [Retail / E-Commerce](https://develocity.ai/industries/retail-ecommerce/): Speed and stability for retail and e-commerce engineering. - [Technology](https://develocity.ai/industries/technology/): Developer productivity for technology companies shipping at scale. ## Pricing & professional services - [Pricing](https://develocity.ai/pricing/): Priced per committer, per year.
