How to switch to OpenJDK with Azul: A 3-step process

Wondering how easy it is to switch to OpenJDK? Azul provides full compatibility with Oracle Java with no code changes needed and a simple 3-step migration process that has a track record of 100% success.   With free updates to Java 21 ending, moving to OpenJDK has never made more sense. It’s all explained in our white paper - Definitely worth a read: https://lnkd.in/gQ8QE-BE     #Java #OracleJava #Javamigration #OpenJDK

🐦🔥 Java has been the phoenix among the programming languages, upgrading itself each time everyone thought it's getting old and losing it's shine. 🐦🔥 ⌛ Java LTS [Long-Term Support] versions over the years with major updates. ⏱️ Oracle adopted a new release cadence after Java 8, releasing a new Java SE platform version every six months.  🚀 LTS releases are designated every two years while the interim releases are feature releases. #Java #JavaLTS #SoftwareDevelopment #JavaProgramming #JDK #Java25 #Microservices #Backend #EnterpriseApplications

🚀Java Journey: From 8 → 11 → 17 → 21 → 25 From Lambdas to Virtual Threads, Java has quietly reinvented itself : One LTS at a time. Java 25 (2025 LTS) has officially landed and it’s more powerful, efficient, and modern than ever. 🔹 Java 8 (2014) — The Functional Revolution Lambdas • Streams • java.time API • Optional 🔹 Java 11 (2018) — Modern Standardization HTTP Client • var keyword • String API improvements 🔹 Java 17 (2021) — Sealed & Streamlined Sealed Classes • Records • Pattern Matching for instanceof 🔹 Java 21 (2023) — Concurrency Reimagined Virtual Threads • Sequenced Collections • Pattern Matching for switch 🔹 Java 25 (2025) — Compact, Fast & Observant •Gearing up for Project Panama (native interop) and Valhalla (value types) ❌ 32-bit x86 support removed — time to modernize legacy systems Detailed breakdown of Java 25 updates: https://lnkd.in/g8ZDsxKc 💡 Every LTS release brings us closer to a cleaner, more concurrent, and cloud-optimized Java. #Java25 #Java #VirtualThreads #SpringBoot #Microservices #BackendDevelopment #SoftwareEngineering

With Oracle ending GraalVM support after JDK 24, choosing the right Java platform is more important than ever. Our free guide breaks down your options — from OpenJDK to high-performance platforms. 🔍 See the full breakdown → https://bit.ly/4hjdTWj #Java #GraalVM #OpenJDK

Java 8(2014) Introduced Lambdas, Streams, Optional, and Date/Time API Still widely used in enterprises y Java 11(2018-LTS) Added var for local variables New HTTP Client API Removed Java EE & CORBA modules Java 17 (2021- LTS) Sealed Classes, Pattern Matching for instanceof Text Blocks for cleaner multiline strings Popular LTS version for migrations * Java 21 (2023-LTS) Virtual Threads (Project Loom) for improved concurrency Pattern Matching for Switch Record Patterns *Java 25 (2025- Upcoming LTS) Focus on performance, scalability, and memory optimization Continued work on Project Panama & Valhalla t Java is evolving into a faster, more scalable platform with each LTS release. If you're still on Java 8 or 11, it's time to upgrade to Java 17+ or plan for Java 21/25. #Java #BackendDevelopment #SpringBoot #Microservices

Java migrations don’t need to be complex. Our white paper lays out a zero-risk path from Oracle Java SE to Azul Platform Core. If you’re exploring OpenJDK, this is a must-read. https://lnkd.in/g7EeS8MT #Java #OpenJDK #javamigration 

The ABCs of Java: Understanding the JDK, JRE, and JVM Hello network! 👋 To truly understand how Java achieves its famous "Write Once, Run Anywhere" ability, you have to know these three components. I broke down the hierarchy in this image—let’s simplify what each one does: 1. JVM (Java Virtual Machine) The Engine: The innermost layer. It's the interpreter that runs the Java Bytecode (your compiled code). The JVM is responsible for executing the code specifically for your operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS). 2. JRE (Java Runtime Environment) The Runtime: This is the environment you need to simply run a Java application. It includes the JVM plus all the necessary Java Class Libraries and support files. If you're a user, you only need the JRE. 3. JDK (Java Development Kit) The Toolkit: The complete package for any Java developer. The JDK includes the JRE (to run the code) and all the Development Tools like the Compilers and Debuggers that you use to write, test, and package your application. In Short: The JDK is your full toolbox. It contains the JRE, which provides the environment for the JVM to execute the code. This architecture is Java's superpower! #Java #JDK #JRE #JVM #Programming #TechExplained #CodingBasics #codebegun

Oracle’s removal of the Graal JIT compiler is a big shift for Java performance. Azul Platform Prime now stands alone for teams that need low latency, high throughput, and fast warm-up. If performance matters, this blog is worth your time. #Java #JVM #JavaPerformance
