Recently we shared a top-level look at our big wins over the last year, including our record-breaking 63% YoY growth in new customer bookings! We're excited to see this featured in TFiR! Azul's momentum reflects a major shift in the Java ecosystem, as more businesses move away from Oracle Java in search of high-performance and cost-efficient alternatives. As Scott Sellers, our co-founder and CEO, put it: “Rising cloud infrastructure costs and enterprise migrations away from Oracle Java fueled our momentum this past year as organizations prioritize cost-efficient, scalable, and secure Java solutions.” From our global expansion across EMEA and APAC to 13 industry awards, Azul is proving that Java innovation and cost savings can go hand in hand.

While most CIOs report their cloud costs exceeding expectations—often by 30%—they still see strong business value in cloud investments. Cost management has become the top cloud priority, with companies leveraging FinOps to optimize spending while continuing to scale. As Azul CEO and co-founder Scott Sellers puts it, “Cloud’s cost efficiency encourages consumption, which leads to even more consumption—and ultimately budget overruns.” Read more in the full article > https://bit.ly/3DUz0iB #CloudComputing #CIOInsights #FinOps #CloudSpending #AzulCIOTrends
