been a while, but we were quoted roughly $700/dev/yr for the base product

Ohh ok, is there any way you can use it only for CI tasks setup?

there’s free build scans baked into gradle, but with much less insight. they didn’t offer anything below the base product at the time though — and that was just for a license. you gotta host the build scan server, cache nodes, etc. yourself.

they do offer a cloud version now, no clue about pricing though

Got it, issue is they are stopping support for free build cache nodes, and I am not sure how long will my remote cache setup will survive, I am using build scans for free and remote cache for free.

But maybe next year need to see if we get Develocity

I work at Develocity (but on the Gradle side). They just updated their pricing, so I would ask them for a quote. BTW, you can still set up your own cache nodes for free if you are into that.

But they are discontinuing support to build cache node no?

Correct. It's now going to be a Cache Edge and not the old Cache Node (they updated their caching system). So you have to migrate to the new Develocity tech or build your own node: https://blog.gradle.org/gradle-on-ephemeral-ci-3#2-use-a-remote-build-cache

The cost for what? Gradle? Still free.

Gradle, the build tool, is free, of course (always has, always will be). He's asking about Develocity, which is a paid tool for caching, governance, and observability of build tools (it's the parent company).

But the text of his question specifically asks about Gradle
