Ready to level up your Jakarta EE applications with asynchronous communication? Join our webinar next week - REGISTER HERE -  to unlock the power of Java Message Service (JMS) and learn how to integrate messaging for flexible architectures.

Deploying a web application often means connecting to a database. In this guide, I'll show you how to connect a Jakarta EE application on Payara Cloud to a PostgreSQL database hosted on Neon.

Jakarta EE offers a reliable foundation for enterprise-scale Java applications. Sometimes, however, the traditional deployment model can add a layer of complexity. Payara Micro addresses this challenge by providing a streamlined approach for managing your Jakarta EE deployments.

This webinar with Edwin Derks  & Luqman Saeed - watch here - is specifically tailored to reveal the productivity advantages that Jakarta EE brings to developers like you in the enterprise Java domain. Whether you're a developer, architect, or tech enthusiast aiming to enhance efficiency in Java enterprise application development, this recording is crafted with you in mind!

Jakarta EE (formerly Java EE) is a set of community developed, abstract specifications that together form a platform for developing end-to-end, multi-tier enterprise applications. Jakarta EE is built on the Java Standard Edition, and aims to provide a stable, reliable and vendor neutral platform on which to develop cloud native applications.

Our new eBook - available to download here - discusses the general theory surrounding the Java Enterprise Development platform. 

Payara Cloud, introduced in November 2022, is the next generation of fully-managed cloud native application runtime that offers a flexible and powerful way to easily run Jakarta EE applications in the cloud. This webinar - REGISTER HERE - presented by the Java Champion Michael Redlich, will provide an introduction to the Payara Platform and Payara Cloud. There will then be a review of a Jakarta EE application and demonstrate how to deploy and execute it locally to Payara Server and Payara Micro, then in the cloud with Payara Cloud.

Payara Micro is a microservices optimised, cloud-first Jakarta EE runtime capable of executing WAR files directly from the command line, eliminating the need for a conventional application server setup. This efficient method, coupled with its versatility and extensive functionality, makes Payara Micro an ideal choice for simplifying your Jakarta EE development process. Its wide array of command-line options is designed to simplify configuration and management, further enhancing its appeal.
