Azul and Moderne Announce Partnership to Boost Java Developer Productivity
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Azul, the only company 100% focused on Java, and Moderne, the automated code refactoring and analysis company, today announced a technical partnership to help Java development teams identify, remove and refactor unused and dead code to improve productivity and dramatically accelerate modernization initiatives. This collaboration integrates Azul's deep runtime visibility and Java expertise with Moderne's powerful platform for automated, multi-repository, rules-based code refactoring. Together, they enable organizations to continuously secure, maintain and modernize their Java applications with unprecedented scale and precision.

According to Azul's 2025 State of Java Survey & Report, 62% of survey respondents report that unused or dead code affects DevOps productivity, and 33% cite that more than half of their DevOps team's time is wasted addressing false positives from Java-related security vulnerabilities. To address this, Azul and Moderne have integrated their solutions to bridge runtime insight with automated code remediation. Code Inventory, a feature of Azul Intelligence Cloud, identifies unused or dead code based on production Java runtime data. The Moderne Platform then uses this intelligence via an OpenRewrite recipe to earmark deprecation status and drive precise, large-scale removal of unused code. This integration can save enterprise development teams significant amounts of manual work updating source code and fixing vulnerabilities as part of major Java upgrades and framework migrations.
Many organizations are seeking to upgrade and modernize their applications to keep them secure and on supported frameworks and runtimes, but codebases can contain unused or dead code, third-party libraries and open-source components. Over time, teams have added features but not retired code that is no longer run in production, making ongoing maintenance and modernization more difficult and costly. This complicates an organization's innovation efforts and impacts migration speeds and developer productivity. Considering the millions of Java applications being run across enterprises today, this results in a significant amount of developer time lost updating meaningless code that must be constantly maintained and secured.
'This partnership is about more than identifying unused and dead code—it's about removing the barriers to meaningful modernization,' said Jonathan Schneider, co-founder and CEO of Moderne. 'By combining Azul's production-aware insights with Moderne's ability to safely and automatically transform code at scale, we're giving Java teams a clear path from understanding to action. It's a model for how runtime data and automated execution can work together to keep codebases lean, secure and ready for what's next.'
'Application maintenance is not a sexy task for Java developers but is an essential part of keeping applications secure and running on supported modules and infrastructure,' said Scott Sellers, co-founder and CEO at Azul. 'By providing developers with a solution for remediating unused or dead code that is 100% accurate based on production application runtime data, Java teams can focus on updating, migrating and modernizing only the application code that matters, dramatically increasing developer productivity.'

Rocket Lab Completes Record Launch Turnaround From Launch Complex 1, Successfully Deploys 68 th Electron Mission
MAHIA, New Zealand--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB) ('Rocket Lab' or 'the Company'), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today successfully launched its 68th Electron rocket to deploy a single satellite to space for a confidential commercial customer. The mission was the second of two launches from the same launch site in less than 48 hours, a new launch record for the Company as it continues to deliver dedicated, repeatable and reliable access to space for satellite operators. The 'Symphony In The Stars' mission lifted-off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand on June 28 th (7:08 p.m./07:08 UTC) to deploy a single spacecraft to a 650km circular Earth orbit. The mission was the first of two dedicated launches for the new customer on Electron booked less than four months ago, with a second mission scheduled before the end of 2025. Rocket Lab has now completed four launches in June for commercial satellite constellation operators, underscoring Electron's consistent performance and rapid deployment capabilities as the world's leading small launcher: the 'Full Stream Ahead' mission on June 3 rd; 'The Mountain God Guards' mission on June 11 th; 'Get The Hawk Outta Here' launched on June 26 th UTC, and today's 'Symphony In The Stars' mission. Rocket Lab Founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, says: 'Electron has demonstrated once again that it is the gold standard for responsive and reliable space access for small satellites. The future of space is built on proven performance, and Electron continues to deliver against a stacked launch manifest this year. Congratulations to the team on achieving its fastest launch turnaround yet between two missions from Launch Complex 1. This launch was also a quick-turn mission to meet our customer's mission requirements, and we're looking forward to doing it again later this year.' 'Symphony In The Stars' was Rocket Lab's tenth Electron mission of 2025 and its 68th launch overall. With 100% mission success so far this year, Electron continues to deliver reliable deployment amid an increasing launch cadence and rapid contract-to-launch timelines.

KBRA Releases Research – Potential OBBBA Implications for Litigation Finance ABS
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases research examining the potential implications for litigation finance ABS stemming from proposed measures under the Tackling Predatory Litigation Funding Act (TPLFA), which is currently included in the U.S. Senate's One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Litigation finance has a long history and, in recent years, has established itself as a niche segment in the asset-backed securities (ABS) market. However, the TPLFA could significantly alter the economics of this evolving structured finance asset class, as it proposes substantial new taxes on profits from third-party litigation funding. Litigation finance ABS transactions, which are typically backed by nonrecourse advances to plaintiffs in personal injury and other civil cases, could face meaningful structural and liquidity challenges if the legislation is enacted.

KBRA is recognized as a Qualified Rating Agency in Taiwan, and is also a Designated Rating Organization for structured finance ratings in Canada.
