Gradle Technologies, the company behind the Gradle Build Tool, has renamed itself to Develocity as of June 2026. The rename reflects the company's commercial center of gravity shifting toward its Develocity platform, which supports multiple build systems beyond Gradle. The Gradle Build Tool itself is unaffected: it remains free, open source, Apache 2.0-licensed, and maintained by the same team. The legal entity remains Gradle, Inc. gradle.com now redirects to develocity.ai, while gradle.org stays the home of the build tool. The branding change follows the 'Next.js by Vercel' convention, making the relationship between the tool and its corporate steward clearer at a glance.
