Confused about 🤔 Gradle Version Catalogs vs Dependency Platforms? You're not alone! In my latest blog post, I break down:

👉 What each feature does
👉 How to define them
👉 When to use which

🔑 Key takeaway:
📜 Version Catalogs = simplify dependency declarations
🛠️ Platforms = align dependencies across your graph

In this blog post we'll break down the differences between Version Catalogs and Platforms.

Small feedback about the blog UI. On iPad-style device with vertical layout, the text is very close to the left border

@davinkevin yeah it is… on mobile it‘s even worse 😬 I still need some time to go back and fix some of the css. I hope you like the content though!

@britter This is awesome. Helped me understand platforms so much better.

Been using version catalogs for some time now, including a plugin written to utilize them for controlling transitive dependencies.

Might be able to delete this plugin now in favour of platforms.

Thank You!

@benne thank you so much for this message. It really means a lot! Super happy you liked my blog post.
