Java Development Company

Java is a widely popular general-purpose, object-oriented, class-based programming language with dynamic memory allocation and automated garbage collection. Java runs on Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that itself can run on many hardware architectures. Practically, Java is used to write stable applications of any kind and any size.

Java often hits the sweet spot when starting a new software development project because of the proven JVM virtual machine, wide selection of mature frameworks and libraries, and a large global talent pool.

Java and JVM are great for building web, mobile, and data processing systems. This is because of its interoperability, fast execution, static type checking, dynamic memory allocation, and modern extensions like Kotlin.

The key feature of Java is a proven track record of being a technology foundation for large, mission-critical systems. 

What makes Java a fantastic choice for building a long-lasting application is the following:

• a possibility to build and develop your system locally and then run it on servers of any size and architecture;
• the high-performance execution of JVM;
• static type checking;
• great selection of modern and mature frameworks.

Java can be run on any hardware architecture supported by JVM, but it may not be that fast as assembler or C optimized for a specific machine code.

Java is a very secure language due to three main reasons:

1. Java code runs in a Java virtual machine, which is an isolated sandbox.
2. Java dynamically allocates and manages memory, which makes it impossible to introduce many types of security flaws related to memory management.
3. The encryption and cryptographic functions available in the Java ecosystem are widely used and proven to be secure.

Spring Boot Framework is the most popular Java web development framework due to its variety of mature, built-in features that shorten time-to-market of your products. 

When designing high-performance Java programs, it is important to follow the slowest processing unit principle to remove bottlenecks. Also, make sure to avoid:

• slow synchronous operations like I/O operations of network wait operations;
• single-thread processing, when the computational task can be split into multiple and still chunky batches that could be executed in parallel;
• misuse of CPU cache by using memory-inefficient Java structures.

Remember, your data fits in RAM. Check this article: Latency numbers every Java developer should know. 

A design of a low latency Java system needs to follow similar principles as a high-performance architecture. We also need to remember that the key is to minimize our response/processing time per request. Reactive programming would become a handy processing model here. In this way, we are able to decouple unit operations and execute them as asynchronously as possible to minimize the response time and maximize the resource usage. Spring WebFlux available in Spring Boot Framework or Akka are mature Java frameworks that will help you introduce reactive programming models to your applications.

Yes, although Python is probably the best choice for prototyping due to large availability of different AI/ML algorithm implementations you may try. However, the numerical computation code in Java is at least 20-30 times faster compared with a direct implementation in Python. This results in a 20 times cheaper and smaller system that needs to be run in your production environment.

Yes, Java programming language is a fantastic option for software development due to its security, high-performance, mature set of proven frameworks and libraries, well-defined standards and a large global talent pool.

We strongly believe in extensive communication and transparency as the best options to mitigate project risks. This is why we apply an agile approach to all our projects (see our values: About Us). You may learn more about our development process here: How We Work. 

Yes, we provide maintenance and extension support for Java applications of any kind. We have implemented many Java projects serving various industries, such as ecommerce, travel, fintech, and healthcare.

Java programming language is one of the most popular choice of modern companies who care about high-performance solutions. Starting a custom Java development project with us means a close collaboration with dedicated Java developers. As an experienced Java development company, Stratoflow follows an agile software development process. Read more: How is Java Used in Software Development: The Ultimate Guide.
