Join Azul and leading voices from the Java community on July 24 for Prime Time, a dynamic virtual event dedicated to innovations, strategies, and real-world insights that power high-performance Java estates.
For your mission-critical applications and end user experiences, faster response times and consistent performance impact business results and cloud costs. Your choice of Java is key. No matter where you’re running your apps – on-prem or in the cloud, or if you’re looking to modernize legacy Java workloads – when performance, elasticity, scale and cloud cost matter, choose a high-performance Java platform.
Did you know:
Azul Platform Prime, Azul’s high-performance Java platform, can:
- Cut your infrastructure costs by 20%+ (Azul customers)
- Achieve 224% ROI (Forrester study)
- Runs 36% faster than the baseline of OpenJDK 11.0.6 (Java benchmark report)

Prime Time sessions
Write Once, Deploy Everywhere: From Containers to Serverless
Presenter: James Ward, principal developer advocate, AWS
While Java apps are technically portable across many platforms, it can be tricky to not tightly couple them to specific deployment platforms, severely degrading their portability.
Making JVM Fleet Restarts Easier for Java Performance & Scale Using Cloud-Native Compilation
Presenter: Simon Ritter, deputy CTO, Azul
In this session we will break down how one of Azul’s largest e-commerce retailers improved shopper experience during check-out. You will learn how to simplify cloud-native JVM fleet restarts and streamline DevOps workflows. We will look at how to dramatically improve application warm-up by using cloud-native optimizations that reduce the number of instances needed for Java workloads.
Cut Java Cloud Costs; Proven Strategies to Optimize Java Workloads and Reduce Waste
Presenters: Anne Plese, director of Product Marketing, Azul
John Stuart, vice president of Cloud Operations, Security & IT, Azul
Rob Martin, FinOps principal, FinOps Foundation
Java applications account for a significant portion of enterprise cloud costs—more than 65% of organizations surveyed say over half their cloud compute spend comes from Java workloads (source: Azul). With FinOps teams prioritizing workload efficiency and waste reduction (source: FinOps Foundation), Java has become a critical area of focus.
Java & AI, Moving from Experiments to Business Implementations
Presenter: Frank Delporte, senior technical writer, Azul
In the ongoing Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Large Language Models (LLM) revolution, Python has played a crucial role and has become the standard language for a lot of data scientists and machine learning engineers. However, as we move from experiments to business implementations, many organizations want to rely on the many benefits of Java and its stability and maturity. In this session, we want to highlight why Java deserves to be the primary choice for training AI and ML models and LLM-based applications in production environments.
Migrating Java Workloads to the Cloud
Presenter: Matt McClernon, head of Specialist SA, Compute, ANZ, AWS
Modernizing Java applications doesn’t have to mean rewriting them. In this session, we’ll show you how to unlock the full power of cloud elasticity and scalability—without changing a single line of your existing code. Learn how organizations are running legacy Java workloads more efficiently in the cloud, with immediate performance improvements and minimal disruption.
Java Perf & Scale: Mastering Techniques for Efficient Applications
Presenter: Pratik Patel, vice president of developer advocacy, Azul
Building performant and scalable Java applications involves several key strategies that span from coding, to architecture, to deployment. In this session, we’ll start at a high level and dive deep into code and talk about scaling.
Building AI Agents with Spring & MCP
Presenters: James Ward, principal developer advocate, AWS
Josh Long, Spring developer advocate
AI is here, but is it working for you? The name of the game is to give these AI models access to our enterprise systems and services and let ‘er rip! But it’s not always easy. We have a friend whose stress level trying to build production-worthy Python AI services was so high that his hairline receded TWELVE INCHES! Or that might have just been natural aging… Either way: he should’ve used Spring AI! Join us, AWS developer advocate James Ward and his trusty sidekick and Spring developer advocate Josh Long, and we’ll look at how to build MCP-enabled, RAG-ready, vibe-free, agentic systems and services in no time at all.
Prime Time presenters
