Why We Work with Java

The Java language is often misunderstood. For some, it is synonymous with slow development, excessive resource consumption, or simply seen as outdated.

We believe the opposite, and here’s why:

  • Java is a language that was first released in 1996 and has never stopped evolving. The latest major (LTS) version is Java 21, which brings groundbreaking features like pattern matching and virtual threads.
  • Java is open-source: The OpenJDK project provides an open-source implementation of Java specifications, meaning there is no need to pay for an Oracle license.
  • Java has a rich ecosystem, making it easy to integrate existing functionalities into a project, such as authentication, email sending, role management, and interfacing with other applications. No need to reinvent the wheel when a reliable and efficient one already exists!
  • Java is high-performance: When used correctly, it proves to be an extremely powerful language. For example, Java is used by companies developing high-frequency trading solutions.
  • Java is future-proof: Applications written in Java 1.4 (from 2002) still compile and run on the latest JVM version today, without needing any modifications. Try doing the same with a Node.js or Ruby application.
  • Java can be compiled natively thanks to GraalVM, reducing memory usage and startup time for Java programs or allowing the creation of native shared libraries (.dll/.so).
  • Java and its ecosystem enable excellent development velocity: Modern frameworks like Quarkus allow hot code reloading during development. The abundance of libraries facilitating testing allows for fully automated functional testing, which is far quicker than manual testing by clicking through an interface. When mastered, Java offers a development speed equal to or even superior to JavaScript or Ruby, which are known for their fast development capabilities.

What This Means for Your Project

By using Java, we can quickly develop high-performance, high-quality, and scalable applications.

This ensures we stay within your budget and meet deadlines.
