HTTP Build Cache Server

Gradle HTTP Build Cache Server

This is an alternative Gradle build cache server. There are 2 mode that this cache server can be used:

Persisted Mode

Store cache into disk. At this moment the maximum cache size is 64GB, enough for most build.

What it does:

• Cache gradle build
• Persist into disk so it survives server being restarted

What it does not do:

• No eviction strategy

In Memory Mode (Default)

Store cache into memory. The total cache entry stored in the cache is limited by the heap allocated to JVM

What it does:

• Cache gradle build
• Store in memory

Option for this mode:

• Replicate to another node if configured
• Evict entries to free up memory using LRU

How to run

$ java -jar http-cache-server-0.0.1.jar

Open source usage

For building open source project using gradle, a free cache server is available to use. Add the following in your settings.gradle:

buildCache {
    remote(HttpBuildCache) {
        url = "https://cache1.winar.to:32500/"
        enabled = true
        push = true
    }
} 

Note: the cache server above is using in-memory mode with replication. It is also configured to evict entries using LRU to avoid running out of memory. It is however having a quite big heap allocated to it. It also provide no guarantee of the cache to be available all the time. Should you need a persisted mode and uptime guarantee dedicated to your project, please contact for pricing.
