From the #Gradle Community:

"Parallel Bits - Which Parts of Gradle Run in Parallel", from the knowledgable @liutikas.net 🫶

Java frameworks have very similar challenges, and should learn from each other

You should try Jenkins plugin development 😘

I think my one will be based on Quarkus too, after all. I depend on Gradle less now, and I definitely prefer Quarkus Dev Services to the Spring implementation 😀 m.devoxx.com/events/dvbe2...
