Java is not outdated tech. Your advice seems pretty solid overall but Java is definitely not outdated tech. I would expect as much from a non-coder giving advice though.

It's not just outdated. It's horrendously outdated. No one outside of Java developers wants to deal with it. Take your pick why, constant security problems, Oracle's shitty litigious attitude, miles of crappy java code Ops people have to deal with that was built by the lowest bidder, the fact that the JVM/virtual machine pattern that has been superseded by VMs/docker/serverless/microkernels/take your pick. Just about the only people who greenfield in Java these days are academics who learned Java as an undergrad, Enterprise people who are stuck with java everything-else so why not, and java developers who don't know anything better. Oh, and business guys who force Java in their applications so it can be easily outsourced to India once the buyout check comes through.

  You're comparing the JVM to docker containers and regular VMs? Lol. Java is a rock solid language and many languages in wide use are built on top of it. Spring releases content frequently. Nobody makes "Java ops code" - lol. Doesnt even make sense. You dont know what you're talking about.

    shrug Believe what you want. I've run into many many operations and security people who share my opinion.
