Likelihood to Recommend	Lightbend, Inc No answers on this topic	Azul Systems, Inc If you want some low cost JDK provider where you need the frequent updates as well, you can go ahead for Azul Zing instead of OpenJDK. But if budget is not a concern, I would recommend going for some well known company such as Oracle. Also if you are using Azul for production, make sure to use it for Dev ENV too so as to reproduce issues. Incentivized Kailas Andhale Software Engineer Read full review
