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.
Real developers can help you.

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.

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.
You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.

How do I enable Gradle daemon?
Gradle daemon runs by default. Keep Replit shell open between builds
Should I exclude tests from build?
Yes, separate build and test: ./gradlew build -x test, then ./gradlew test
