Obviously, OpenJDK has a more permissive license than Oracle's JDK. Still, Amazon Corretto comes with commercial support, & since it's backed by Amazon's infrastructure, downloading a new package to install on a new laptop/system is just a breeze.

OpenJDK is comparable to Oracle Java SE in most cases and you get away with significantly lower costs. Oracle Java SE have some advantages in performance on some native platforms but in most cases the OpenJDK performance is similar or at least good enough.

Most API related and infrastructure related tech features implemented and fabricated with OpenJDK packages and Libraries. Extensive tech configurations are still developed with this product. we would to like to continue the usage this package for our upcoming projects as well. For Data Visualization I feel OpenJDK does have much resources for making data more insightful and helpful.

In specific scenarios, we find that Oracle Java Cloud is suitable for agile development projects, high-concurrency applications, and deployments in multi-cloud environments. However, it may not be the best option for very specialized applications that require specific technologies not supported by the platform

  • 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.

Google App Engine is great for Java applications where you are using other Google components already, for example Google GCP, Google BigQuery, etc. Redhat, OpenShift, and Pivotal CloudFounder are great when the application is very complex and includes components that are Java and non-Java based (Python, etc). Amazon AWS is more difficult to configure than Oracle Java Cloud - Oracle Java Cloud has simpler UI.
