Stop guessing why your Gradle build is slow.
I’m thrilled to announce Gradle Lighthouse v2.1.0 🏗️ — an enterprise-grade build intelligence plugin for Android and Kotlin Multiplatform. Think of it as "Google Lighthouse" for your module graph.
I built this because managing 100+ module projects often becomes a black box of circular dependencies, slow execution, and technical debt. Lighthouse fixes this with zero configuration. Just apply the plugin, and it runs 20+ deep architectural checks.
I recently tested it against Google's massive Now in Android (NIA) repository and the NutiSport KMP app. (See the screenshots below for the reports!)
Key Features:
✨ Zero Config: One line of code to install.
🚀 Performance ROI: Detects Config Cache readiness, missing build caches, and calculates KAPT-to-KSP migration ROI.
🔗 Architecture: Detects circular dependencies and calculates feature-coupling scores.
🧹 Hygiene: Finds dead dependencies, "dark modules" (zero tests), and version catalog mismatches.
📊 CI/CD Ready: Generates beautiful HTML dashboards, colorful terminal UIs, and GitHub Security Tab SARIF reports.
If you are an Android or KMP architect looking to modernize your build and cut down technical debt, give it a try.
