    If you want some low cost JDK provider where you need the frequent updates as well, you can go ahead for Azul Zing instead of OpenJDK. But if budget is not a concern, I would recommend going for some well known company such as Oracle. Also if you are using Azul for production, make sure to use it for Dev ENV too so as to reproduce issues.

    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.

    • 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.

    Oracle was costlier whereas OpenJDK had less frequent updates. Azul was average of both of them, so it was choosen.
