We make Java the #1 choice for modern enterprises

To reach that goal, we are building multiple tools for Java application development, execution, and management, including:

  • The most secure, performant, and feature-rich JDK
  • The utility for creating native images
  • The tool for swift control over multiple runtimes
  • The operating system fine-tuned for use within containers

Our vision

We build a more sustainable, secure world through technology
  • Serving as the stewards of Java efficiency
  • Preserving and extending resources for optimal use
  • Conserving electricity through high performance
  • Supporting higher efficiency CPU architectures
  • Securing Java by reducing dependencies

Our Team

BellSoft was founded by those who participated in the development of Embedded Java SE, the IoT market in Sun Microsystems and Oracle. After Oracle's changes to the Java distribution and pricing model, their goal was to provide performant runtime with swift and reliable support and enhanced security for Java developers and enterprises all over the world.

 

Their experience developing Java for embedded systems convinced them that limiting resources for services in the cloud is similar to executing Java on a constrained embedded platform.

 

This inspired them to create a runtime that provides the best performance and saves valuable cloud resources.
