    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.

    Oracle
    Oracle Java Cloud is especially appropriate for moderate to complex Java applications. Due to BYOL licensing, it is also works well when you are planning to do dev and test in-house and then deploy it on Oracle Java Cloud. It is not well suited for simple Java applications due to the cost of Oracle Java Cloud. Simple applications don't need the fully managed aspect of Oracle Java Cloud.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • 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

    Oracle
    • Pricing can certainly be improved as the cost adds up for dev/test environments using the Oracle Java Cloud platform.
    • It is hard to customize Oracle Java Cloud for complex Java applications requiring high bandwidth memory and network requirements.

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