We recently created a new guide to help you move from WebSphere Application Server to Payara Server 5.

Payara is better than WebSphere, for reasons including Payara's more regular releases, greater variety of supported IDEs, a compatible microservices edition (Payara Micro) and varied monitoring options.

Hermes, the logistics provider, is just one company which made the change from WebSphere to Payara Server! 

As 2022 moves into its second month, we provide a short and sweet update on what you can expect from the Payara product suite this year.

Our new bumper eBook tells you all you need to know about Jakarta EE and busts common misconceptions. 

Spoiler: Jakarta EE is NOT heavy; it IS cloud-native; it easily delivers microservices. The Jakarta EE (previously Java EE) standards offer a choice of runtime, vendor neutrality and longevity - what are you waiting for?

It's the first month of 2022 and we've already seen some fantastic news, articles, podcasts and videos related to Java, Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, cloud programming, DevOps and open source. We've collected some of our favourites in our monthly roundup. 

The January 2022 Payara Platform release is here!  Payara Platform Enterprise 5.35.0 includes 2 improvements and 7 bug fixes.

The JakartaOne Livestream is a huge event in the Jakarta EE and MicroProfile calendar. Organised by the Eclipse Foundation, it is a one-day virtual conference for developers and technical business leaders.

It brings insight into the current state and future of Jakarta EE and related technologies focused on developing cloud-native Java applications. 

Welcome to the first Monthly Catch of 2022 - looking back at the last month of 2021! We celebrate the most useful articles, videos, tips and tricks from our community in December - as well as round-up where you can find Payarans and the Payara Platform outside of our channels.

Payara Platform is an open source middleware platform that supports Jakarta EE (formerly Java EE) applications in ANY environment: on premise, in the cloud, or hybrid. 

It is a solution to GlassFish problems such as lack of supported Docker images and automation assistance, no internal monitoring system and an absence of modern security standards and critical server event alerts and notfiers. It is also an alternative to Oracle Weblogic, Wildfly, JBoss EAP, WebSphere, OpenLiberty and more. 

Our previous Getting Started guide had not been updated with improvements to Payara Platform, such as our hide password with password aliases feature - and did not contain comprehensive guides to integration with other technologies.
