Why a high-performance Java platform?

Lofty expectations for application performance and customer experience can lead to over-allocation of cloud compute resources and wasted time tuning performance.

Azul’s high-performance Java platform provides superior speed, start-up and warm-up, and consistency vs. other OpenJDK distributions to increase responsiveness, optimize compute and boost operational efficiency – all without recompiling or changing application code.

High-Performance Java Platforms Rankings

Red values denote the extent to which a distribution is worse than OpenJDK. i.e: quarter-filled means slightly worse, while half-filled means moderately worse, etc.
