From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

Try this:

```theContainer
  .matching { it.name == "foo" }
  .configureEach { ... }```

(that makes everything created eagerly, which doesn't matter for all containers but might be significant for some)

We learned that if the result of `matching` is used to call `configureEach`, it remains lazy. Only if you iterate the result of `matching` like when giving it to `dependsOn`, all elements get eagerly realized.
