Which Java Version Should You Be On?
Oracle releases a new Java version every six months and designates a Long-Term Support (LTS) release every two years: Java 17 (2021), Java 21 (2023) and Java 25 (2025). (Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap)Also: Spring Boot 3 requires Java 17 or later, and open-source support for Spring Boot 2.x has ended, so many teams upgrade Java and Spring together. Our developers plan these upgrades with automated tests and gradual rollout.
| You're on | Risk | Our recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Java 8 or 11 | Ageing, limited free updates, slower performance, harder hiring | Plan a staged upgrade to Java 21 or 25 |
| Java 17 | Fine today; Spring Boot 3 baseline | Move to Java 21/25 to gain virtual threads and performance |
| Java 21 / 25 | Current LTS | Adopt virtual threads and modern language features |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a Java developer?
<p>Dedicated Java developers from PerfectionGeeks start from $25 per hour for mid-level and $35 per hour for senior developers, or about $4,000 per month for a full-time developer working 160 hours.</p>
What skills should a Java developer have?
<p>A strong Java developer should know modern Java (17, 21 or 25), Spring Boot and Spring Security, REST and microservices design, JPA/Hibernate with SQL databases, Kafka or other messaging, JUnit and Testcontainers, Maven or Gradle, Docker, Kubernetes and cloud deployment.</p>
Which Java version should my application use?
<p>New applications should use a current Long-Term Support version: Java 21 or Java 25. Applications on Java 8 or 11 should plan a staged upgrade, especially as Spring Boot 3 requires Java 17 or later.</p>
Can your developers modernize a legacy Java application?
<p>Yes. Our Java developers upgrade old Java and Spring versions, migrate from javax to jakarta namespaces, containerize applications, move them to the cloud, and break monoliths into services, with automated tests and gradual rollout.</p>
Is Java still a good choice for new back-end projects?
<p>Yes. Java remains one of the most widely used languages for enterprise back ends, with strong performance, mature tooling and a large talent pool, and recent releases added features like virtual threads and records.</p>
Should I use Java or Node.js?
<p>Choose Java for large enterprise systems, high-throughput transactions and teams needing strong typing and mature tooling. Choose Node.js for real-time features and APIs where one JavaScript/TypeScript stack across front end and back end is valuable.</p>
How quickly can I hire a Java developer?
<p>You can typically review matched Java developer profiles within days and have a developer start within about one week.</p>
Can I hire Java developers for an existing project?
<p>Yes. Our developers join existing Java projects for new features, bug fixes, performance tuning, security hardening and upgrades.</p>
Can your Java developers work in my time zone?
<p>Yes. They overlap 4–6 working hours with US, UK, European, Middle Eastern and Australian teams.</p>
Who owns the code?
<p>You do. All source code and intellectual property created for your project belong to you, and every developer signs an NDA.</p>
