Over the years, more than a billion lines of Java code have been written in Alibaba. While adopting OpenJDK to run these applications, we have found a need to customize it specifically for large-scale Java application deployments. Our customization has been well-tested in our environment. We are now contributing some of our work into the Java community. Alibaba Dragonwell, as a downstream version of OpenJDK, is the in-house OpenJDK implementation at Alibaba. It is optimized for online e-commerce, financial and logistics applications running on 100,000+ servers.
