I would recommend it, it has the latest from IBM with IBM z that perhaps together with high-end processors of the latest technology make a spectacular relationship.I suppose that a good team of engineers is necessary, this is not for apprentices.If you are in that situation, I recommend starting with a program with not so many details or settings.

Microsoft has contributed to the OpenJDK project and has also been able to develop support for the Mac M1 chipset. This is amazing that they've seen the importance of supporting all silicon in the spirit of Java. This is very commendable from the tech titan and we look forward to more improvements and enhancements.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • 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

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