Migrating from Oracle WebLogic to Payara Server Enterprise 5 is a fairly straightforward process because both servers rely on the Java EE specifications. We strive to make it as painless as possible with our migration resources and guides! 

The monthly catch came out slightly late this month, but it is chock a block full of content. With a slight emphasis on best practises, tips and plenty of video and podcast content!

In this blog you will find a curated list of some of the most interesting news, articles and videos from the last month. Can't wait until the end of the month? Visitour Twitter page where we post all these articles as we find them! 

Payara Server Enterprise 5 is a cloud-native middleware application platform supporting mission critical production systems with reliable and secure deployments of Jakarta EE (Java EE) applications on premise, in the cloud, or hybrid environments. If you’ve been running WebLogic in production but are struggling with an infrequent release schedule, bug fixes, and patches - or if you want support for Eclipse MicroProfile, you’ll benefit from migrating from WebLogic to Payara Server Enterprise. 

We'd like to invite you to join us for the Payara Platform October 2020 Roadmap Update on Thursday, Oct 22, 2020 03:00 PM BST / 10:00 AM EST.

If you're running your applications using Eclipse GlassFish, or one of its older iterations, you may have encountered one of the following common issues that hamper the productivity of your application development and overall server management in some capacity:

Microservices architecture allows developers to apply best practices for larger systems learned over time with containerized Jakarta EE (Java EE) application deployments in any environment: on premise, in the cloud, or hybrid.  Using Payara Micro in the cloud offers benefits ranging from reduced expenses, seamless integration with cloud platforms and tools for management and automation, to automatic and elastic clustering. 

We're happy to announce that Payara Platform Enterprise 5.21.2 (request here) Edition is out today!

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?

Yes, and to demonstrate how Jakarta EE and Eclipse MicroProfile work very well and in the cloud, the Payara and Platform.sh will work together on this webinar. Watch and make your conclusions.

Payara Server was created in 2014 as a fully-supported drop-in replacement for GlassFish. As Payara Server developed, its popularity has grown quickly among the community due to an open and responsive development team, a regular release cycle, and the introduction of crucial production enhancements that were never available in GlassFish. Migrating from GlassFish to Payara Server can be simple and straightforward - and we make it even easier with migration guides and a growing library of migration resources.

I hope you enjoy this month's catch. You may notice I made an effort to try and search for content by authors we had not featured before (and are a little less known), as well as including a few of our prolific favourites. There was also a slight lean towards Kubernetes themed content this month as well.
