The configuration cache is a feature that significantly improves build performance by caching the result of the configuration phase and reusing this for subsequent builds. Using the configuration cache, Gradle can skip the configuration phase entirely when nothing that affects the build configuration, such as build scripts, has changed. Gradle also applies some performance improvements to task execution as well. https://docs.gradle.org/nightly/userguide/configuration_cache.html https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/13490 |
