Oracle was costlier whereas Openjdk had less frequent updates. Azul was average of both of them, so it was choosen.

Azul helped use reduce and more efficiently use our AWS EC2 resources. We approached them in Q3 of 2021 with the goal of reducing our overall latency on the JVM 8 platform. They managed to do that for us in such a way that we could expand our options within EC2 for machine architectures and take advantage of additional resources on existing infrastructure that OpenJDK could not at that time.

I'd recommend the platform for teams that are looking to focus on their business problems and not wanting to allocate engineering staff to be full time JVM engineers. I'd also recommend them for companies that have a large extant JVM systems that want a fairly easy way to optimize their current systems without entire rewrites.

In specific scenarios, we find that Oracle Java Cloud is suitable for agile development projects, high-concurrency applications, and deployments in multi-cloud environments. However, it may not be the best option for very specialized applications that require specific technologies not supported by the platform

  • Pricing can certainly be improved as the cost adds up for dev/test environments using the Oracle Java Cloud platform.
  • It is hard to customize Oracle Java Cloud for complex Java applications requiring high bandwidth memory and network requirements.

Google App Engine is great for Java applications where you are using other Google components already, for example Google GCP, Google BigQuery, etc. Redhat, OpenShift, and Pivotal CloudFounder are great when the application is very complex and includes components that are Java and non-Java based (Python, etc). Amazon AWS is more difficult to configure than Oracle Java Cloud - Oracle Java Cloud has simpler UI.
