March 4, 2024We used Azul Platform Core for all our Java products. Azul Platform Core is used as it is cheaper than Oracle and more secure than OpenJDK.

We use Azul Platform Core to run our heavy single booking system backend that is very heavy on memory. We used to have big problems with GC pause times as well as class loaders causing very slow response times after releases.
Azul Platform Core helped us resolve both issues and with the help of Zing Vision we now have a much better control over any similar problems that can occur.

We bad a business critical application with a big telco customer which managed billions of messages/day and which had performance problems connected to memory and gc. We evaluated with great sucvess the use of an Azul Platform Core appliance. The replacement was a very simple task with no changes to the original application.

Our enterprise application stack is Java and Spring Framework based and we have been using Azul Platform Core for over 4 years. We are very satisfied with their Linux JDKs as they always offer great performance for real-time applications hosted on both Intel/AMD servers. Their Platform Core product is well-documented and easy to use.
- Always complain about Oracle JDKs.
- It is optimized for both Intel/AMD server hardware.
- Up-to-date and easy-to-use documentation.
Cons
- Offer more docker configurations with popular application stacks.
