Gradle Build Very Slow on Replit
Gradle builds take 2-3 minutes even for small changes. Build process is frustratingly slow.
Replit's shared resources and Gradle's large classpath cause slow compilation.
Common Causes
- Gradle daemon not running (restarts each build)
- Too many dependencies causing compilation
- No parallel compilation enabled
- Kotlin compilation slower than Java
- Tests run during build (should be separate)
How to Fix It
Set org.gradle.parallel=true and org.gradle.workers.max=4 in gradle.properties. Use --no-daemon for single runs, but enable daemon for repeated builds. Skip tests during build: ./gradlew build -x test. Use build cache: org.gradle.caching=true. Consider splitting into modules to parallelize.

I've been working at a large software company named Kainos for 2 years, and mainly specialise in Platform Engineering. I regularly enjoy working on software products outside of work, and I'm a huge fan of game development using Unity. I personally enjoy Python & C# in my spare time, but I also specialise in multiple different platform-related technologies from my day job.
