Premium subscription for mission-critical applcations
For our professional customers, where reliability is a top priority, the small fee of oracle subscription much more valuable than the many free platforms available for the returned value. We use it for many deployments, mostly for high-value solutions, where every small detail matters. We use it for on-premise servers and a few cloud instances too.
- High-value server deployments, which requires the most reliable technologies available
- For on-premise backend servers
- Some smaller cloud solutions
- The payment itself is hard to describe sometimes with so many free alternative available
- Subscription ends will make app unusable without switching to openJDK
