# ADR-0004 - Use a platform oriented architecture for Gradle

## Date

2024-02-07

## Context

The Gradle code base is essentially a large monolith, without strong internal boundaries.
This has a number of negative effects on productivity, including:

- Unclear ownership of code.
- Difficult to focus on one particular area.
- Unintended coupling between areas of the code, including tests.

## Decision

# ADR-0001 - Use Architectural Decision Records

## Date

2023-12-01

## Context

In a distributed team with many subteams, the best solution to communicate decisions is to use a format accessible by everyone in charge of development.

We use *Specification* and *Discovery* documents stored in Google Drive, but they present some downsides:

Kotlin, Groovy, Java and other JVM-based languages should be able to use the Gradle API without relying on another language's standard library.

Historically, Gradle has shipped with some Groovy types in very prominent APIs.
This required the Kotlin DSL to add special integration to work with Groovy closures.
This has also forced plugins written in languages other than Groovy to use Groovy types for some APIs.

        You can use [the template](https://github.com/gradle/gradle-issue-reproducer) with a Gradle GitHub action set up to showcase your problem.
        In the rare cases where this is infeasible, we will also accept a detailed set of instructions.
