Does anyones company use crowdstrike? At my job on an android project that uses configuration cache I'm seeing some reallllly slow times and my hunch is that crowdstrike is slowing down my builds when its saving config cache.

Perhaps you’re also using macOS Sequoia ?

Many possible causes… we use ZScaler and see slowdowns on dependency downloads (as all downloads are intercepted/scanned). Perhaps check/share a build scan (
--scan
) to help identify where the slowdown occurs?

ZScaler was a bad one for us on all the added MITM latency. finally strong armed them to setup a role we could get to not intercept the handful of repository fqdn's. I suspect crowdstrike is also a key culprit in some of our local build slowness but they also have a few other corpo spyware systems installed on these so I have not been able to lock it down. I can say that after I took the 15.3.1 MacOS update file deletions got quite a bit faster.
./gradlew clean
dropped from ~5 minutes down to ~1.5. But again not entirely clear what the main variable to that change was since our "security" people don't communicate with us let alone make themselves accountable to the time drain their decisions cause us.

Currently on sonoma 14.7.4
@Chris Lee yeah we use zscaler and crowdstrike. everything is just so terribly slow. 😭 i guess i need to learn how to do build scans again lol. need a tool built into android profilers for gradle scans lol

We’ve used both crowdstrike and sentinelone now ama
We put exclusions on folders for our project, android studio intellij ides
Like entire repo directory where configuration cache is hosted too and gradle itself
