State of the Java Ecosystem Report

Sun Microsystem released the Java programming language in 1996 to provide a more portable and interactive way of developing modern multimedia applications. It has remained one of the most popular programming languages ever since. Java is used in almost every major industry and economic sector because it is platform-independent, offers thousands of libraries, and is well-supported.

New Relic has been monitoring the Java ecosystem for the past few years to uncover shifts in how it is being used due to new version releases and the rise of containers. The 2023 report provides context and insights into the current state of the Java ecosystem.
