Java on Azure
Discover the benefits of 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—with GitHub Copilot. Use build and automation tools such as GitHub Actions, 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 infrastructure. Take advantage of Azure App Service, Azure Container Apps, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Azure Red Hat OpenShift for hardware and software infrastructure management.
