Alternatives include upgrading to Java 21 for continued free use or migrating to OpenJDK distributions like Azul, which offers support and updates at a lower cost. Azul’s Platform Core provides a drop-in replacement for Oracle Java, helping companies maintain security and performance while potentially saving 70% on costs.
