It's time for the October Payara Monthly Catch! It might be Halloween soon, but our monthly news roundup will protect you from the scary thought of missing out on anything from the world of Java, Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, and open source. We collate all the very best content as your TREAT for the month 🎃🦇👻

A key Java survey came out this month - theAzul State of Java Survey and Report. With 2000 respondents, it was interesting to learn that Java 11 was the most popular JDK version, and that 72% were using non-Oracle solutions.  We were also pleased that  19% of respondents reported Payara as their application server of choice, beating GlassFish, TomEE & WildFly!

Devoxx Belgium was a key Java event this month, attended by everyone from Java legend James Gosling, to fairies on stilts: you'll have toread our roundup blogto see them. It was a hub of Java learning and knowledge sharing. Payara's Patrik Dudits delivered a talk, 'Elementary Full stack Development with Hypermedia and Java 21,' You canwatch it backnow.

We also reached15,000 monthly users of Payara Platform. This is a huge milestone for global adoption and shows how Payara's technology has been embraced by Jakarta EE users all over the world.
