Companies sometimes contemplate migrating their enterprise Java applications to a different runtime to optimize costs, benefit from greater technical support, achieve better performance, scalability or new functionalities. However, when it comes to taking active steps towards implementing an alternative application server, many decide not to proceed. A recurring concern for multiple companies is whether such migrations can be done securely, without compromising data integrity or compliance with stringent regulations.

So, are application server migrations secure? How can teams ensure the right robustness and resilience measures are in place? Let’s dig in the world of runtime cybersecurity and migration planning.

If you’re a Java developer eager to explore the latest technology advancements and industry trends, this is an event you don’t want to miss!

Enterprise Java development has evolved significantly from the days of J2EE, which moved to the Eclipse Foundation as Java EE and eventually became Jakarta EE. This progression has provided developers like you and me with a comprehensive platform for building reliable, scalable applications. Let's explore 10 ways Jakarta EE 11 streamlines enterprise development, with special attention to the newly released Jakarta Data 1.0 specification.

Java has been a core element of enterprise application development for decades, and its relevance will continue to grow in 2025 and beyond. With its platform independence, scalability and security features as well as active ecosystem, Java offers numerous advantages that can contribute to increased profitability and enhanced business continuity for your organization.

This blog post explores 10 reasons why Java should be the language of choice for your current and future enterprise applications.

In the Java ecosystem, two main frameworks stand out for enterprise application development: Jakarta EE (formerly Java EE) and Spring Boot. While both options aim to simplify enterprise Java development, they take distinctly different approaches. This comprehensive comparison will help you make an informed decision on which framework is best suited to support your next project.

Virtual Payara Conference - find out more and register here - is a two-day, free event that brings together industry leaders, developers, and innovators to explore the latest advancements and strategic insights in the world of Java and Jakarta EE.
