From Sun Microsystems to the Cloud

BellSoft was founded in 2017 by engineers who have been working with Java since 1999. Our core team built their expertise at Sun Microsystems and Oracle, where they developed Embedded Java SE and pioneered Java for IoT and embedded systems.

For nearly two decades, our team mastered running Java efficiently in resource-constrained environments, from embedded devices to enterprise servers. This experience gave us unique insights into optimization and performance.

Within just one year of founding BellSoft, we became a Top 5 OpenJDK contributor globally. This achievement speaks to our team's technical depth.

Today, we channel that heritage into building the most complete, secure, and performant Java platform for modern cloud and enterprise environments. Over 1,500 companies across 195 countries trust us to power their applications.

Shaping the
Future of Java

We don't just use Java. We actively shape its evolution. Our engineers sit on the boards and committees that decide Java's future, and our contributions have fundamentally changed how the industry deploys and runs Java applications.

Our Impact on Java:

JEP 315: ARM64 Optimization

We led the effort to optimize Java for ARM processors, enabling the performance breakthrough that made ARM viable for enterprise workloads just as the industry shifted toward ARM architecture.

JEP 386: Alpine Linux Port

We pioneered bringing Java to musl-based Linux distributions, dramatically reducing container footprints and enabling the lightweight Java containers that power today's cloud-native applications.
