I mostly use Liberica JDK for all my backend Java development. It's honestly a no-brainer—lightweight, stable, and makes containerizing my apps a breeze. The performance is top-notch, and I've literally had zero issues since making the switch, making my job life way easier. The biggest problem it solves is bloated container sizes and slow deployments; switching to Liberica's JDK builds shrinks them down drastically. It saves space and makes scaling up way faster. I definitely like the painless Docker integration and how lightweight it is. It plays incredibly well with Spring Boot, making the container images tiny, and it runs perfectly on both my local ARM Mac and our cloud servers without weird cross-platform hiccups. The Docker integration is flawless, especially for a Spring Boot dev, and Liberica being the default runtime recommended by the Spring team means it plays perfectly with standard cloud-native buildpacks. I also use it with Testcontainers for integration testing, and it handles everything like a champ. The initial setup was super easy by just switching the local project SDK to Liberica in IntelliJ IDEA and updating the base image tag in our Dockerfiles. For anyone doing Spring Boot or Docker work, I'd recommend it to any colleague without hesitation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really not much to complain about since it just works. If I had to pick something to improve, maybe the explanation for beginners on which version to actually download could be a bit clearer. Just adding a simple wizard or a quick 'if you are building, X download Y' guide for specific developer use cases would make jumping in completely frictionless.
