## Platforms

### Core automation platform

This is a general-purpose automation platform which takes care of the efficient definition and execution of work, such as tasks.
This platform is agnostic to what exactly the purpose of the work is.
It might be creating an application, setting up development environments, orchestrating deployments, running simulations, etc.

Most tasks that are used to build Gradle support the configuration cache, but some don't. For example, building the documentation currently requires you to disable the configuration cache.

To disable the configuration cache, run the build with `--no-configuration-cache`.

Tasks known to have problems are listed in the build logic. You can find this list at:

* **WebSocket** support.
* In-process background tasks.
* Startup and shutdown events.
* Test client built on HTTPX.
* **CORS**, GZip, Static Files, Streaming responses.
* **Session and Cookie** support.
* 100% test coverage.
* 100% type annotated codebase.

    end
    operation ->> client: Return response to client
    Note over client,operation: Response is already sent, can't change it anymore
    opt Tasks
        operation -->> tasks: Send background tasks
    end
    opt Raise other exception
        tasks -->> dep: Raise other exception
    end
    Note over dep: After yield
    opt Handle other exception

The build session state also includes "cross session" state that is shared with any "nested" sessions that need to be created.
This only happens when the `GradleBuild` task is used. You can mostly ignore the distinction between "cross session" and "build session" state.

### Build tree state

"Build tree" is another name for the build definition.

* There can be **multiple processes** of the **same program** running at the same time.

If you check out the "task manager" or "system monitor" (or similar tools) in your operating system, you will be able to see many of those processes running.
