new in develocity 2026.1: AI agents can query build failure data via MCP.
meaning your agent can ask "why did this build fail" and get a structured answer from actual build scan data, not a log grep.
finally.

hot take: your flaky tests aren't random.
they're deterministic failures with non-deterministic timing. there's a difference. one is fixable.
develocity tracks which tests flip across runs so you can stop guessing and start fixing.
AI writes code faster than ever. When builds fail, root cause analysis shouldn't be manual.

things that don't tell you why your build failed:
- the CI red X
- the 4000-line log
- your teammate saying "works on my machine"
things that do:
- build scan

AI-generated code means AI-generated supply chain risk. 🛡️
A Build Artifact CDN like Develocity doesn't just speed things up—it gives you provenance on everything that shipped.

The Spring Boot team saved 27 days of build time in a single week with Develocity Build Cache. 🌱
That number sounds fake. It isn't.

Cold builds don't have to mean slow builds. ☃️
Develocity Universal Cache and Develocity Edge provide ephemeral CI warm cache state across your whole fleet...without compromising isolation.

Build Cache + Predictive Test Selection = only build what changed, only test what could break. ☑️
That's how you match AI write speed with AI validate speed.

"50% of that build time was re-downloading."
"How do you know?"
"...I didn't, until now."
Develocity's new dependency download visibility tells you exactly what's hitting the network vs. what's cached.

50–80% of enterprise build time is redundant work. ♻️
Re-downloading the same dependencies. Re-running unchanged tasks.
As AI drives 5x more commits, that waste doesn't stay constant...it compounds.

Your CI spent 60% of this morning re-downloading dependencies it already had yesterday. 📦
That's not a build problem, it's a billing problem.

Adding more CI runners to handle AI-driven commit volume is just spending more money to stay in the same place.

Ephemeral CI is great for security. Terrible for build speed.
Every clean container = 100% download tax, every single commit. You shouldn't have to choose. ❄️

Your engineers are shipping twice as much code. Your CI queue is twice as long. AI didn't fix your bottleneck — it moved it. 📉
Here's the fix 👉 gradle.com/blog/pipeline-accelerati...
#GenAI #CICD #Develocity
40+ minutes re-downloading dependencies on every build??
Develocity Artifact Cache brought that to 2 minutes. 20x speedup — no architectural changes. ⚡

AI is writing code faster than your CI can validate it.
