Amazon Corretto vs. Microsoft Build of OpenJDK

Amazon Corretto is the best platform for individuals, companies, or businesses to get started at no cost and easily develop and run Java applications in the same environment in the Cloud, on-premises, and/or on local PCs. Great support from AWS, solving all performance and security problems, and able to work on different platforms.

I think of a few areas when looking at Microsoft Build of OpenJDK. The first is what is your cost to run for your intended product or project, if you are strapped and fall within the supported areas of Microsoft Build of OpenJDK then it's a no brainer, Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is for you! Lastly, I think of support in the respect to running into a wall and needing a fix. It can take a while for open source tools to produce fixes that the community warrants, so again if you aren't strapped for time and haven't run into a wall and could afford to wait for fixes or relevant patches then again Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is for you. Not everyone has this luxury, but these are a few areas to think about.

• It incorporates the newest JDK version's security patches.
• It's helpful when testing hybrid deployments locally.
• It provides a significant advantage in terms of overall performance.
• It is especially useful because it gives us free access to the open JDK on any platform.

Incentivized

• Support for the Java libraries that are common use today
• Support for various architecture environments - Mac, Windows, Linux, etc...

• Amazon Corretto really has short documentation which has been the issue for us in the past resulting in the development issues
• This service is relatively unknown and less popular which results in the smaller community which means in case you get stuck somewhere it may be difficult for you to the find the resources.
• No other issues noted as of now by us

Incentivized

• Since it's open source, enterprise support is less than as if you are running paid like an Oracle JDK.
• Performance is improving and is I would say on par with paid solutions, this could improve to help with growth.
• Stability will happen over time with more contributions and fixes

Amazon Corretto is easy to use Open source JDK and very helpful to quickly get started at no cost with great support to build and improve application development on any operating system like Linux, Windows, and/or macOS. Highly available and reliable services backed by Amazon for the success of product development and good user experience.

Microsoft Build of OpenJDK stacks up against Oracle JDK (paid) very well. From both a performance, implementation, library support, and collaboration aspect.

• No cost alternative to paid JDK platforms
• Performance is that of paid JDK platforms in my opinion
• Community contribution is a bonus for contributed code and open collaboration
