Popular and Free but needs improvement
What do you like best about the product?
It is free and quite popular in the open source community which makes its user base quite huge. Hence, community support is really great. All this makes it the default choice for new java programmers.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it may be good for a simple java project or library, the performance is not as great as other free java distributions like Amazon Corretto. There are significant differences seen in memory management and performance on scale as compared to Corretto, Corretto being on a much better side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is free and its large community of users has helped a lot in open source development and in further increase in its user base. So, it helps a lot in getting my doubts answered and problems solved quickly. Also, it is quite easy to get started with any java project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are developing a product which will experience extremely high qps, OpenJDK might not be the best option for you. Try for better performing alternatives having better LTS support like Amazon Corretto which will significantly help you optimize your infrastructure costs. You can however, use it for simple open spurce projects or relatively moderately scaled systems.
