Experience Unparalleled Speed and Performance with Our OpenJDK Builds
Performance is paramount in modern application development. Our OpenJDK builds are engineered to deliver exceptional speed and responsiveness, allowing your applications to handle even the most demanding workloads with ease. We go beyond simply compiling the OpenJDK source code; our engineers meticulously analyze and optimize the build process to unlock the full potential of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Advanced Optimization Techniques for Maximum Throughput
Our optimization strategy encompasses a range of techniques, including:
Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO): We leverage PGO to identify and optimize the most frequently executed code paths in the JVM, resulting in significant performance improvements for real-world applications. By analyzing the runtime behavior of the JVM under typical workloads, we can tailor the compilation process to prioritize the most critical sections of code.
Just-In-Time (JIT) Compiler Enhancements: Our team continuously works to enhance the JIT compiler, the heart of the JVM’s dynamic optimization capabilities. We implement cutting-edge optimization algorithms and heuristics to improve the performance of compiled code, reducing latency and increasing throughput.
Garbage Collection Tuning: Efficient garbage collection is crucial for maintaining application responsiveness. We provide finely tuned garbage collection configurations optimized for various workloads, minimizing pause times and maximizing resource utilization. We understand that different applications have different memory management requirements, and we offer a range of garbage collection algorithms, including G1, Parallel, and Serial, allowing you to choose the best fit for your needs.
Native Code Integration: In scenarios where Java code interacts with native libraries, we ensure seamless and efficient integration, minimizing overhead and maximizing performance. We meticulously test and optimize our builds to ensure compatibility with a wide range of native libraries and system environments.
Benchmarks Speak Volumes: See the Difference
We subject our OpenJDK builds to rigorous benchmarking against other popular distributions. These tests demonstrate significant performance advantages across various workloads, from web applications to data processing pipelines. We regularly publish our benchmark results, providing transparency and demonstrating our commitment to delivering superior performance. These benchmarks include industry-standard tests like SPECjvm2008 and SPECjbb2015, as well as custom benchmarks designed to simulate real-world application scenarios. We also provide detailed reports on our testing methodology, allowing you to understand the specific conditions under which our benchmarks were conducted.

Streamlined Release Cadence: Aligning with Ubuntu’s Schedule
To provide a more predictable and manageable update experience, we are aligning our OpenJDK release cadence with Ubuntu’s Long-Term Support (LTS) release schedule. This means that new major versions of our OpenJDK builds will be released every two years, coinciding with Ubuntu LTS releases. This strategic alignment simplifies the management of dependencies and ensures a consistent upgrade path for our users. This synchronicity offers several benefits:
- Predictable Update Cycles: Predictable release cycles allow you to plan your upgrades in advance, minimizing disruption to your development workflow.
- Simplified Dependency Management: Aligning with Ubuntu’s LTS releases simplifies the management of dependencies, as you can be confident that your OpenJDK builds will be compatible with the other components of your system.
- Improved Security: Regular security updates are released in conjunction with Ubuntu’s security updates, ensuring that your applications are always protected against the latest threats.
Benefits of Aligning with Ubuntu LTS Releases
By aligning our OpenJDK release cadence with Ubuntu’s LTS schedule, we are providing our users with a more stable, predictable, and secure development environment. This alignment allows you to focus on building great applications without worrying about the complexities of managing dependencies and security updates.
Enhanced Stability: Ubuntu LTS releases are known for their stability and reliability. By aligning with these releases, we are providing our users with a solid foundation for their Java applications.
Simplified Management: Managing dependencies and security updates is simplified by aligning with Ubuntu’s LTS release schedule.

Addressing Key Concerns and Enhancing Clarity
We understand that when choosing an OpenJDK distribution, developers consider factors beyond just speed and security. Here’s a deeper dive into some common concerns and how Tech Today addresses them:
Licensing and Commercial Use
Our OpenJDK builds are based on the GNU General Public License version 2, with the Classpath Exception (GPLv2 with CPE). This allows for both commercial and non-commercial use without requiring you to open-source your applications. We want to be clear that you’re free to use our builds to develop any kind of software. We offer commercial support options for those who require dedicated assistance, custom builds, or specific SLAs. These support packages are optional and designed to complement the already robust and free-to-use offering.
Transparency and Build Reproducibility
We are committed to transparency in our build process. We publish detailed build scripts and configurations so that you can verify the integrity of our builds and even create your own. Reproducible builds are a key aspect of our approach. This assures that the binaries we provide are generated from the exact source code we specify, allowing for independent verification and enhanced trust. We leverage industry-standard tools and techniques to ensure build reproducibility, bolstering confidence in the security and integrity of our OpenJDK builds.
Containerization and Cloud-Native Environments
Our OpenJDK builds are optimized for containerization and cloud-native environments. We provide pre-built Docker images and support for popular container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes. These images are designed to be lightweight, secure, and easy to deploy in cloud environments. We understand the resource constraints often encountered in containerized deployments, and we’ve optimized our builds accordingly. This means smaller image sizes, faster startup times, and efficient memory utilization.
Detailed Monitoring and Diagnostics
Effective monitoring and diagnostics are crucial for maintaining the health and performance of Java applications. Our OpenJDK builds include support for standard monitoring tools and APIs such as JMX and Java Flight Recorder (JFR). We also provide custom tools and dashboards to help you gain deeper insights into the performance of your applications. We offer documentation and tutorials on how to leverage these tools effectively, ensuring that you can quickly identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.
Community Engagement and Feedback Loops
We believe in the power of community and actively encourage feedback from our users. We have established multiple channels for communication and collaboration, including forums, Slack channels, and GitHub repositories. We actively monitor these channels and respond to user feedback in a timely manner. We use this feedback to improve our OpenJDK builds and address any issues that may arise. This continuous feedback loop ensures that our builds are constantly evolving to meet the needs of the Java community.
