A More Flexible Way to Deploy Jakarta EE Apps: Introducing Pay As You Go Pricing for Payara Cloud

Pay As You Go (PAYG) pricing has arrived for Payara Cloud, making it easier than ever to deploy and run your Jakarta EE and MicroProfile applications in the cloud. This new pricing model is perfect for development environments, testing and small applications that don't require continuous runtime.

What is Payara Cloud?

Payara Cloud is a fully managed runtime that runs and scales Jakarta EE/MicroProfile applications seamlessly while managing all the cloud infrastructure for users. It offers a flexible and powerful way to easily run software applications on the cloud through a ‘plug-and-play’ deployment framework. This is achieved by automating the deployment pipeline, which simplifies and shortens the deployments and management of software applications to the cloud, significantly reducing costs and time-to-market.

More specifically, Payara Cloud redefines the way Jakarta EE applications are deployed, taking an approach that handles server-related complexities on behalf of users. It leverages the core principles of Jakarta EE to isolate deployable applications from infrastructure intricacies.

As a result, Payara Cloud helps businesses futureproof their operations and benefit from the cloud by revolutionizing how Java-centric software applications are deployed and managed in this space. In addition, Payara Cloud dynamically adjusts to application needs, providing automatic scaling and robust performance.

What Makes Payara Cloud PAYG Different?

While cloud deployments are becoming increasingly popular, infrastructure costs can quickly escalate. The new PAYG option for Payara Cloud users helps them avoid cloud spend wastage while providing ultimate flexibility with:

• Usage-based billing at $0.005 per vCPU minute
• Access up to 2 vCPU / up to 4 GB resources
• Multiple custom domains
• No upfront commitments

This model offers minimal upfront investment and works exceptionally well for:

• Development and testing environments where constant runtime isn't needed
• Proof-of-Concept (POC) deployments
• Small applications with sporadic usage patterns
• Cost-conscious teams looking to minimize cloud costs and avoid overspending by paying only for actual usage

Thanks to this new usage-based pricing option, the power and flexibility of Payara Cloud are now more accessible than ever. In effect, even with PAYG pricing, you still get access to Payara Cloud's core features and  retain access to the key benefits of Payara Cloud, including:
