When dealing with complex distributed systems, decoupled, asynchronous communications may be more suited to support the exchange of information between different parts of a system, or even completely different systems. In effect, this decoupling makes it possible for different parts of a system to interact without being directly connected, enhancing scalability and fault tolerance. It is possible to set up such communications through a messaging platform like Apache Kafka and design highly scalable applications.

Our new eBook - available to download here - discusses how to use Apache Kafka for Jakarta EE Platforms that use Payara Server. 

Asynchronous communications are an essential elements of flexible and scalable Jakarta EE applications, as they can support the independent processing of multiple tasks, leading to improved performance and responsiveness. This webinar with Petr Aubrecht  & Luqman Saeed - watch here - delves into the world of Java Message Service (JMS) and its integration within Jakarta EE applications to help developers harness the power of asynchronous communications and messaging for enhanced architectures.

In our latest podcast episode, you can listen to our insightful conversation with David Heffelfinger, CTO of Ensode Technology, on his latest venture: the release of his book, 'Jakarta EE Application Development.'  With nearly three decades of professional software development experience under his belt, David is a true veteran in the field. Java enthusiasts will recognize him as a Java Champion and the prolific author behind numerous publications on Java, Java EE, Jakarta EE, GlassFish, NetBeans and more.

There are now a lot of advanced productivity tools that can help software developers streamlining their coding activity, e.g. automating repetitive but necessary tasks or supporting troubleshooting. This webinar - watch here - with Trisha Gee, Java Champion and Developer Evangelist at Gradle, and Luqman Saeed, Jakarta EE Expert at Payara, covers some of the most effective strategies and latest solutions that can help engineers with their Java application developments. 

To effectively express a query, it's important to utilize a typesafe way that help you enhance readability and reduce runtime errors.

Our latest User Guide - available to download here - discusses how to use the Jakarta Persistence API (JPA) Criteria API to build dynamic entity queries programmatically. 

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) activities are designed to convey your Jakarta EE applications to end users. Thanks to the unique flexibility of Jakarta EE, multiple CI/CD options are available to software developers. In effect, these are independent from your specific Jakarta EE. 

Watch the video below to learn more about some of the CI/CD alternatives available, what they can offer as well as guide you through how you can implement them. You will be able to follow a demonstration on configuring GitHub Actions for CI/CD and deploying a Jakarta EE applications from the IDE, through GitHub, and onto Payara Cloud. You will also be able to learn how to deploy and manage your applications on Payara Cloud.

This article provides a brief introduction to using Instaclustr’s managed PostgreSQL Database and Apache Kafka from Payara Cloud. It was created to assist entrants in the upcomingPayara Hackathon (you can still sign up!) spin-up and configure some potentially useful Instaclustr technologies forJakarta EEapplications.

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!
