China’s e-commerce giant, Alibaba, has unveiled its own Java distribution. Based on OpenJDK and Java SE 8, Dragonwell8, currently in preview, is the open source version of the company’s in-house implementation.

Dragonwell is a downstream version of OpenJDK that has been optimized for e-commerce, financial and logistics applications running on 100,000-plus servers. The company describes it as “the engine that runs these distributed Java applications in extreme scaling.”
