After you've got familiar with administering Payara Server, having configured your domain and deployed your applications, you might find it useful to get some more information on features supporting maintenance of your domain in the longer term.  If you are not quite there yet, have a look at our resources page or our getting started page.

All companies are software companies, and businesses will always experience the challenge of keeping integrations between users and applications scalable, productive, fast, and of high quality. To combat this, cloud, microservices, and other modern solutions come up more and more in architectural decisions. Here is the question: Is Java prepared to deal with these diverse concepts in a corporate environment?

Docker is a platform which makes it easier to create, deploy and run your applications using containers. A container bundles all the software needed to run it. By packaging the required dependencies, it makes it easy to run it on any machine, regardless of small configuration differences. This article will explain more about introducing Docker. 

Using Payara Server for the first time?

We’ve put together this step-by-step “Getting Started Guide” to help you with everything you need to successfully install and put Payara Server to work for you, including:

Watch this video to learn how to create a secure web application using multiple Java EE/Jakarta EE APIs and connect it to a MySQL 8 database in this comprehensive tutorial.

MicroProfile Health is an API designed specifically for use in cloud and containerized environments, where you want to quickly determine if an instance of an application is unhealthy and restart it. How exactly do you use it though? In this session, I’ll run through how to add some health checks to your application, and how to configure a number of cloud providers and containers to effectively use them to restart your application instances.

In this tutorial, I will explain how to add the Payara Server in the Visual Studio Code and deploy the maven web application to the Payara Server.

I was very determined this month to try and get this blog out on time! A lot has happened this month! Java 14 was released. Some virus thingy means everyone is working from home. Conferences and events are almost all cancelled all delayed, globally. Some have transitioned to virtual events.

In this day and age, securing enterprise platforms is a challenge that developers and consultants tackle in an uninformed manner, producing subpar solutions in most cases. To combat this pattern, third-party security services such as Auth0 have been devised to externalize the security of services, and they focus on stable implementations of common enterprise use cases (identity management, OAuth compatibility, and so on), and platforms such as Eclipse MicroProfile allow for their easy integration with enterprise Java microservices. Moreover, in combination with Kubernetes, MicroProfile is a very powerful tool to simplify securing microservices, monitoring them and creating reproducible deployments.

We've published a number of blogs about the updates and new features with the Payara Platform 5.201 release, but here are the highlights in case you've missed it:
