  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • JDK

  • Just to name a few, but it's really small list compared to all that has been added since 8, you can see all the additions here.

  • spring-data-jpa-temporal

    Temporal auditing extension of the Spring Data JPA module

  • Can I ask something? I recently started working on a library (this) using Java 16 but I had hoped on supporting minimum Java 8 (since it's a Spring extension and Spring supports Java 8).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
