Java for software development

Since 1995, Java remains one of the top programming languages in the world. It powers software on over 13 billion devices and in companies of all sizes. Owned by Oracle but open-source and free to use, it’s curated and developed by a community of experts.
Apart from web applications, Java technology is used to develop mobile apps operating on Android, Internet of Things software, machine learning algorithms, data mining tools, neural network libraries, and… so many more!
What makes Java relevant 25 years after the launch? This phenomenal achievement stems from a number of factors. One of them is portability (i.e. the ability to run a program on different machines) in three main areas: source code, CPU and OS/GUI.
Apps built in Java are easy to maintain and support more platforms, which translates to more potential users
Moreover, easy syntax and all benefits of Object Oriented Programming place Java at the top of popularity charts among coders.
Java enthusiasts form the biggest knowledge-sharing community in the coding world. They make sure it remains applicable
in a variety of industries and compatible with modern frameworks and platforms.
What if Java was the missing link?
Despite all the effort, your FinTech app is not quite “there” yet?

Tried and tested
Java is the backbone of millions of applications across the globe, with endless use cases allowing developers to pick optimal solutions. For years, universities have had their Computer Science curricula based on Java and its features, which has created a deep talent pool of skilled developers.
Object Oriented
Alongside C#, Python and Ruby, Java is a programming language based on the principle of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). The concept of data encapsulation into individual software objects gives OOP languages a number of advantages, including modularity, code reuse, flexibility, and easy troubleshooting.
Focus on performance
Developers coding in Java are known for their non-trivial approach to the way software works. From simple ins and outs of the applications, they aim to look deeper into databases or performance issues, such as computation complexity, data processing speed or memory overhead.
Big Data solutions
When selecting the optimal tech stack for Big Data development, certain properties of Java make it a strong alternative to Python. Many data scientists point to technologies supported by Java (such as Scala or Apache tools) as fundamental in data processing and analytics.
Cross-platform
One of the main rules followed by Java developers is “write once, run anywhere” (WORA), which means that the compiled Java code can run on any device or operating system supporting JVM (Java Virtual Machine), without the need for recompilation.
Freedom to innovate
With great power comes great responsibility: that’s something Java developers understand very well. Java enables them to influence virtually all aspects of the application and gives endless customisation options, while providing innovative ways to solve unusual challenges.
25 years in the making, Java continues to empower businesses across sectors.
FinTech brands with a keen eye on data processing use Java in their core tech stacks.
Building strong product teams in-house is a tempting option in an ideal scenario, but most FinTech companies have to operate under the pressure of time-to-market, budget restrictions or compliance schedules.
This makes outsourcing a highly cost-effective strategy, especially for tech-savvy startups building their MVPs or scaleups in rapid growth mode.
Even if full cycle Java development is not on your radar, it’s still likely that at some point you’ll need to integrate your software with other platforms. In such cases, a project-based support of Java experts can prove invaluable.

Helvetia Insurance envisioned Flink as a groundbreaking step towards a new generation of InsurTech products: highly accessible, functional, hassle-free and UX-optimised. First versions of the app showed promise, but needed more work on the back-end and front-end, together with a massive UI makeover.
With the help of UI/UX designers, Angular and Java developers from Code & Pepper, Switzerland’s leading InsurTech has achieved its strategic goals.
The revamped Flink app showed higher conversions and application usage rates. Moreover, high team spirit and exceptional communication chemistry made the cooperation a memorable experience for both parties.

Global Trade AlertCode & Pepper became involved in the design process already at the bidding stage. Even though they didn’t have much time to answer our complex request for tenders, the effect was mind-blowing. They had a very practical approach from the very beginning, and this is what made us select them.
