The release of Payara 6 Community in a few weeks will be a turning point for many of our users. It's important you review all possibilities in advance. Consider migration to be supported, secure and maintain peace of mind!   

We recommend moving to Payara Enterprise,  which we consider the most cost-effective and business-savvy choice. In this blog we explain 5 different scenarios.

The April 2022 Payara Platform release is here! Payara Platform Community 5.2022.2 brings 13 bug fixes, 2 component upgrades, 3 improvements and 3 security fixes, whilst Payara Platform Enterprise 5.38.0 includes 2 bug fixes, 1 improvement and 4 security fixes. 

It includes the fix for "Spring4Shell", and improved support for Jakarta EE 9, as you can now run Jakarta EE 9 applications using PrimeFaces.

This release also gives Payara users the ability to use gRPC, the Google Remote Procedure Call Framework.

Please note: This is the penultimate Payara 5 Community release. Payara 6 Community will soon take its place, to be used with Jakarta EE 10. If you want to keep using earlier Java EE/Jakarta EE versions - we encourage you to move to Payara 5 Enterprise.

We are always looking for the best of Java, Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, cloud programming, DevOps and open source content for our audience. This often means articles, blogs and videos on enterprise applications and the most secure, stable way to use Java and Jakarta EE.

The March 2022 Payara Platform release is here!  Payara Platform Enterprise 5.37.0 includes 8 bug fixes, 2 improvements and 1 component upgrade.

We've got a new guide for you - and it's a bit of a departure from our more technical content. 

Instead, we spell out what the term 'microservices' encompasses, for those who might not be familiar with the technology.

It's time again for us to round up the very best of Java, Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, cloud programming, DevOps and open source from the month!  

Java is the world’s third most used programming language, and the basis of some of the world’s biggest software projects.

If you are running a large, enterprise application - supporting commercial projects - Java alone may not be enough. You need to use it with Jakarta EE, formerly called Java EE.

The second episode in our 'Quick Fire Java' video series is out!

We discuss Log4j, security process and prioritization, and how Payara dealt with the vulnerability.

All in a concise 10-minute video.

The February 2022 Payara Platform release is here!  Payara Platform Community 5.2022.1 includes 3 improvements and 10 bug fixes. Payara Platform Enterprise 5.36 brings 3 improvements and 4 bug fixes.

We recently created a new guide to help you move from WebSphere Application Server to Payara Server 5.

Payara is better than WebSphere, for reasons including Payara's more regular releases, greater variety of supported IDEs, a compatible microservices edition (Payara Micro) and varied monitoring options.

Hermes, the logistics provider, is just one company which made the change from WebSphere to Payara Server!
