Here’s Why Microsoft Is Acquiring Software Performance Analytics Company jClarity
Summary
Microsoft recently announced that it acquired jClarity — which is a service designed for tuning Java application performance that will now be used for Azure. “In the last few years, Microsoft’s usage of Java has grown and now includes multiple large-scale deployments, such as Azure HDInsight and Minecraft. Additionally, Microsoft customers like Adobe, Daimler and Société Générale have brought their Java production workloads to Azure. With more than half of compute workloads running on Linux, Azure has become a great platform for open source, and that certainly includes Java,” wrote Microsoft Corporate VP of Program Management for Developer Tools and Services John Montgomery in a blog post. jClarity was founded by CEO Martijn Verburg, CTO Kirk Pepperdine, and Tech Fellow Ben Evans.
