I agree with the other post here, sounds like you need to find a new job. The cloud isn't your enemy; it's just a bunch of machines. The decisions that are being made at your present gig are orthogonal to the fact that it's in the cloud.

However I would add that sticking to one technology stack for your whole career is probably just not possible in today's environment. There's still plenty of places that are using Java, but they won't be the cutting-edge startups. Frankly, you may not want to work at a startup anyway, the pay is lousy, the equity is usually worthless, and job security is low.

I encourage you to methodically look at your skills, which Industries and segments they're valuable in, and what you need to learn going forward depending on which segment you end up focusing on.

(un)fortunately, even the Java shops do have to follow Java trends - let's not forget the Java world is quite a big world with many islands. Example: I develop lambdas in Java. It's just those trends are less seasonal than other (Javascript?) trends, maybe also because they aren't usually startups but rather enterprises.
