In this short introductory demo we will show you how to start Payara Micro and demonstrate how simple it is to use its dynamic clustering feature.
For those of you who’d like to look a bit deeper into this, the source code for Payara Micro is available on GitHub under the Payara project, so you can play around with it to your heart’s content. As a quick heads-up for those who intend to do just that, the distribution jar is not a part of the standard build cycle anymore, so you’ll have to build Payara with the BuildMicro profile:
Mvn clean install -PBuildMicro.
