About:
Gradle Profiler is a command-line tool for creating performance profiles and benchmarks of Gradle builds. It automates the collection of detailed performance metrics, including build times, memory usage, and task execution data. The tool supports generating flame graphs and JFR recordings, making it invaluable for identifying bottlenecks and optimizing build performance.
Key Features:
  • Automated benchmarking and scenario execution
  • Supports JFR (Java Flight Recorder) and async-profiler integration
  • Generates detailed performance reports and flame graphs
  • Supports measuring build cache effectiveness and configuration caching
Use Cases:
  • Identifying performance bottlenecks in large Gradle projects
  • Comparing build performance between different Gradle versions or hardware
  • Validating the impact of build script changes on execution time
Alternatives:
  • Gradle Build Scan – Provides deep insights into build logic and dependencies, whereas gradle-profiler focuses on low-level performance metrics and benchmarking.
  • JProfiler / VisualVM – General-purpose Java profilers requiring manual setup, while gradle-profiler is specialized for automating Gradle build analysis.
