In January 2023, Oracle revised its subscription model, shifting from usage-based pricing to an employee-based metric, which can significantly increase annual subscription prices. As a result, organizations are faced with the choice of paying Oracle significantly more for the same service or switching to a third-party JDK alternative
According to the Gartner report, “by 2026, more than 90% of Java applications will be deployed on third-party Java runtimes.“
We believe the latest report from Gartner will help you:
Evaluate OpenJDK provider support for Java releases, operating systems, deployment environments, applets, JavaFX and other technologies to ensure they meet application requirements.
Establish your criteria for a commercial support provider by considering price, cost to switch providers, support options, vendor experience, licensing restrictions, and the popularity and potential longevity of the product.
Determine if a high-performance Java platform is the right fit by evaluating your requirements for cloud-native or compute-intensive workloads.
