# Backend (Java)

We use Java for developing OpenMetadata backend server. Following are the key technologies that we use for the backend:

- [jsonschema2pojo](https://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/) for Java code generation
- [Dropwizard](https://www.dropwizard.io/en/latest/) for the web service application
- [JDBI3](http://jdbi.org/) for database access
