In this talk I'll show how moving all our build logic to Gradle helped the Package Search team at JetBrains improve our devops cycles. We wrote tons of custom logic in Gradle, and I will share how much more accessible Gradle is when using Kotlin, instead of Groovy, to write build scripts and plugins. I'll share my experience in writing build logic using the Gradle Kotlin DSL, and then walk you through the creation of a simple plugin that allows you to control a local Docker instance. Build and run Docker images with ease!
