Dear Gatling Community,

We’re coming today with exciting news for developers, as Gatling celebrates the release of Java 21, the newest Long-Term Support version!

We believe that a shift-left approach is the way-to-go and that to adopt it, developers should be able to code in a language they regularly use. That’s why since Gatling 3.7 in November 2021, we released our Java DSL offering flexibility and convenience to software developers. 👩‍💻

Dig into this brand new blog post by our technical writer Shaun and learn more about our commitment to Java and what’s to come for Java testers!
