I work at a SaaS vendor.

We are completing a project to upgrade to Java 11 for most of our micro services. This will also mean we do multiarch container builds for our entire pipeline. Once that is complete, we will begin developing against ARM as the primary target for devs. This is needed because we are in the middle of a hardware refresh so by EOY, something like 80% of devs will be running on M1 Pro.

This should end up saving us money long term as we move all the cloud workloads to Graviton2/3 and Ampere A1 hosts.

We'll be multiarch for many years to come. I also don't see a timeline for us to sunset x86 support considering we also do on-prem installs and ARM rack mount servers are nearly impossible to source.
