Java on Azure

Develop enterprise Java applications in the cloud with your favorite tools and frameworks

Why Java on Azure?

Develop using tools and frameworks you love

Build, debug, and deploy Java applications on Azure using your favorite IDEs, including Eclipse, IntelliJ, and Visual Studio Code for Java. Use build and automation tools like Maven, Gradle, and Jenkins for your continuous integration and continuous delivery needs.

Ship faster with fully managed services

Focus on building business applications, instead of managing your infrastructure. Take advantage of Azure App Service, Azure Spring Apps, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Azure Red Hat OpenShift for hardware and software infrastructure management.

Extend your Java applications

Quickly add services and capabilities, including managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL databases, performance monitoring, and secrets management. Connect your applications with integration services like Azure Service Bus with Java Message Service (JMS) support and Azure API Management.

Take advantage of the Microsoft partner ecosystem

Get best-in-class solutions to bring your existing Java workloads to Azure and extend the functionality of your applications. Access a growing portfolio of Java-focused solutions, from unique managed hosting options with joint development and support to Azure Marketplace images for popular Linux distributions.

Azure Spring Apps

Easily deploy, operate, and scale your Spring Boot apps in a fully managed environment with Azure Spring Apps. Get even more functionality with Azure Spring Apps Enterprise, which adds fully managed VMware Tanzu components, advanced configurability, and Spring Runtime support.

Java EE on Azure App Service

Deploy your enterprise Java apps on a fully managed service with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) on Azure App Service. Get the fully managed experience of App Service with joint support from Microsoft and Red Hat.
