- **Cost effective scaling**: When you use the [Consumption plan](plans.md#consumption), your Java apps can scale to zero. Scaling in when there's little demand for your app automatically drives costs down for your projects.

- **Deployment options**: Azure Container Apps integrates with [Buildpacks](https://buildpacks.io), which allows you to deploy directly from a Maven build, via artifact files, or with your own Dockerfile.

- **Automatic memory fitting**: Container Apps optimizes how the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) [manages memory](java-memory-fit.md), making the most possible memory available to your Java applications.

- **Metrics**: Java Virtual Machine (JVM) metrics are critical for monitoring the health and performance of your Java applications. The data collected includes insights into memory usage, garbage collection, thread count of your JVM. You can check [metrics](java-metrics.md) to help ensure the health and stability of your applications.

- **Logging**: Send application and error messages to `stdout` or `stderror` so they can surface in the log stream. Avoid logging directly to the container's filesystem as is common when using popular logging services.

- **Performance monitoring configuration**: Deploy performance monitoring services as a separate container in your Container Apps environment so it can directly access your application.
