Payara has released Payara Server Community 6 (Alpha version) which has passed the Jakarta EE 9.1 TCK on JDK 11. This means Payara Server Community 6.2021.1.Alpha1 is a certified Jakarta EE 9.1 implementation. 

When commercial support for GlassFish ended in 2014, Payara Server was created from the open source code as a fully supported drop-in replacement for GlassFish.  

Payara Services was born in 2016 to offer support solutions for Payara Server. By 2017, Payara Services had joined The Eclipse Foundation and the Payara Platform expanded to include Payara Micro and comprehensive commercial support options for development projects, in-production support, and consultancy solutions.  New product features and the development of the Payara Platform evolves and is improved upon with each monthly release, and while the application server was originally derived from GlassFish and shares many similarities - the two products are not the same. 

The June 2021 Payara Platform release is here!  Payara Enterprise 5.28.1 includes 5 bug fixes and 2 component upgrades along with a community contribution from AngelTG2 for improving loading time for REST applications when there are many password aliases.

In addition to the bug fixes, component upgrades, and community contribution improvement, the Payara Community 5.2021.4  release also introduces a new AutoScale feature in Payara Server to achieve dynamic scalability of instances based on application usage.

The Notifier API previously found in the Payara Community Edition has now been added to the April Payara Enterprise 5.27.0 release, including backwards compatibility and the ability to create your own notifiers.

In January 2021 we introduced the Upgrade Tool as a minimally viable product (MVP) for Payara Server Enterprise users to make the process of upgrading from one version of Payara Server Enterprise to the next faster and easier.  Each release since then has offered improvements to the tool. 

This month we release Payara Platform Enterprise 5.27.0 (request here) with 18 improvements and 3 new features, including an update to the previously released Upgrade Tool, an automated JBatch Job execution data cleanup feature, and the addition of a pluggable Notifier API with the ability to create your own notifiers.

Meanwhile, the Payara Platform Community 5.2021.2 (download here) includes improvements for running Jakarta EE 9 applications. 

Don't miss our release overview virtual event on the 20th of April, which is now open for registrations on Meetup here.
