Java on Azure
Get started developing Java applications in the cloud with Java development tools and frameworks of your choice
Why Java on Azure?
Develop using tools you love
Build, debug and deploy Java applications on Azure using your favourite IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code for Java. Use build and automation tools like Maven, Gradle and Jenkins for your CI/CD needs.
Ship faster with fully managed services
Unload infrastructure hardware and software management to Azure with Azure App Service, Azure Spring Cloud, Azure Kubernetes Service, and fully managed databases so you can focus on writing code.
Easy to grow
Quickly add services and capabilities like MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, performance monitoring and secrets management as your needs expand. Easily infuse AI into your apps with Azure Cognitive APIs.
Azure plugins for Eclipse and IntelliJ
Build Java applications and deploy them to the cloud directly from your favorite IDE. Java development toolkits for Eclipse and IntelliJ provide templates and functionality that you can use to easily create, develop, test, and deploy Azure applications.

Container-based modernization
Azure Kubernetes Service
Optimize your compute with containers. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Red Hat OpenShift offer fully managed, enterprise-grade services to run your Java-based apps in the cloud.
Managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL
Azure database services
Set up your favourite relational database in the cloud using reliable, scalable and fully managed services for MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server.
AI and cognitive services
Azure Cognitive Services
Use AI and cognitive APIs to build intelligent apps. Azure Cognitive Services brings AI within reach of every developer—without requiring machine-learning expertise.
Security and identity services
Azure AD
Easily add authentication to your app with Azure Active Directory and store cryptographic keys and other secrets in Azure Key Vault.
Monitoring services
Azure Monitor
Collect, analyse and act on telemetry data from your Azure and on-premises environments with Azure Monitor to maximise the performance and availability of your applications.
