At the latest Conf42 Internet of Things (IoT) 2024 conference, our Payarans deliver a keynote, titled "At the Edge of Robotic Applications". The presentation discussed the increasing need for efficient data handling and cloud computing in industrial robotics applications to create future-oriented Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) framework. The talk highlighted how edge computing can support such efforts and the role of application server technologies to create smart robotized systems within factories.

If you missed the Conf42 IoT event on December 19, 2024, you can read more about how to create IIoT-oriented robot applications with edge computing in this blog post, together with the recording to the original talk.

Deadline Approaching: Keep Your Legacy Java Applications Secure with Payara Platform 4

As companies look to modernize their IT infrastructure to leverage the latest technologies and advance the capabilities of their applications, modernizing legacy systems becomes a top priority. However, for organizations still running Java EE 7 or 8 applications, the challenge lies in finding a fully commercially supported application server that can handle their current applications and environment while allowing a strategic and gradual transition.

If your organization is in this position, you have an important deadline approaching: March 31, 2025.

Today’s developers are tasked with building systems that are not only robust but also agile enough to keep up with evolving user demands. Microservices have emerged as a favorite among engineering teams to address these issues because they decompose applications into independent, manageable services. But how do they work, specifically? What can microservices architectures offer? And how can you adopt this paradigm within your application development team? 

If you want to know what microservices architectures can bring to your team, you’re in the right place. In this blog, we discuss the top benefits of microservices and how developers can easily embrace this approach. 

After a long hiatus, the premier conference for Java developers worldwide, JavaOne, is making a grand return. This year's event is even more special as it coincides with the 30th anniversary of Java. Of course, our Payarans will not miss this event, and we are thrilled to exhibit and present at JavaOne 2025! Mark your calendar and join us from March 18–20, 2025, at Redwood Shores, CA, U.S.

One of the largest and longest-running Java conference, Devnexus 2025, is just around the corner and our Payarans are ready to bring cutting-edge insights to the event. If you’re a Java developer eager to explore the latest technology advancements and industry trends, this is an event you don’t want to miss!

For technology companies, cost effectiveness in software and application development isn’t just about saving money. It is about delivering quality products with attractive pricing that help organizations create key opportunities for profitability, sustainable growth and competitive advantage in a marketplace where the competition is fierce and rapidly evolving. When considering middleware technologies, the right solution can help software developers enhance the value of their offering while optimizing capital and operational expenses.  

When selecting an application server for your Jakarta EE applications, there are multiple options available. While the Payara Platform, WildFly and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) have a number of commonalities, they differ in a number of aspects. The choice of one of these three alternatives can significantly impact your development, deployment and operational strategies. In this blog, we’ll explore their common features, differences and how they compare with each other. 

A Practical Path Forward for Legacy Systems  

Payara Platform Enterprise 4 is End-of-Life, Long Live Payara Platform Enterprise 5 (and 6) 

If you are a subscriber, it is likely you already know from our extensive resources available on the Payara Tech Blog that Payara Platform Enterprise 6 offers our most modern and up to date Jakarta EE and MicroProfile runtimes.However, there are still workloads running on older releases of the Payara Platform, namely Payara Platform Enterprise 4.If you use Payara Platform Enterprise 4 for mission-critical applications in production environments,this blog post is for you. 

Payara Platform 4 is reaching its End of Life, with the end of its Extended Support scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. To support anyone that cannot immediately transition to newer versions, we introduced the Lifetime Support model to give them time to plan and move to the latest Payara Platform releases, in line with our ongoing commitment to our customers. The Lifetime Support is designed to provide enterprise level support to business-critical applications in order to help these remain stable and secure as companies prepare for the adoption of more recent Payara Platform versions.  

The Jakarta EE Media and Community Challenge initiated by Payara celebrates the innovation and creativity that thrives within the Jakarta EE community. This global competition invited developers, technical writers and technology enthusiasts to share technical content that educates, inspires and fosters collaboration within the Jakarta EE community.

After unveiling the impressive 4th, 3rd and 2nd place winners, the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived—it's time to announce the 1st prize winner!
