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. 

In regular webinars, our CEO and Founder Steve Millidge provides an update on the progress of Payara Platform: what we've achieved in relation to our yearly roadmaps, and what we have left to do! 

In this webinar, Steve looked at what we've achieved so far in 2021, and ahead to the final quarter of this year and plans for early 2022.

Ever wondered about all the names involved with running Java web applications? Web Server, Application Server, Application Runtime and so on? 

In this guide, we dive a bit deeper in to the terms to help elimate some of the confusion! 

Adam Bien explored the possibilities of Payara Cloud in his recent talk for the 2021 J4K conference! 

He used the Payara Cloud demonstration environment - with the caveat that the user interface is not completed yet - to demonstrate how our next generation application server creates a "serverless" environment; moving the "plumbing behind the scenes" so you only have to worry about selecting your WAR, clicking deploy, and running it on the cloud! 

JDK 17, the next Long-Term Release of Java SE, launched in September. You may have seen many of the great blogs, articles, and videos about what this means for Java developers. For just a few places to start, we like: theJetBrainsteam'sdiscussion on migrating to JDK 17; Todd Ginsberg onhis ten favourite features; andGunter Rotsaert mapping out thedifferences between Java 11 and Java 17. 

But what does the new release mean forJakarta EEdevelopers specifically? If you are using these enterprise-orientated specifications, stewarded by theEclipse Foundation, should you make the switch?

Payara's Rudy De Busscherthinks you should, and explained why in his talk toIstanbul JUG, powered byHazelcast.

Jakarta EE, previously Java EE, is a set of specifications that enables the world wide community of Java developers to work on cloud native Java enterprise applications. It is an open source project maintained by theEclipse Foundation.

Jakarta Concurrency is a small, but fundamental, specification under the Jakarta EE umbrella. As project lead, I provide more information on what it is, its future and how to be involved.

Iberian & South American Payara Platform users: we have recently participated in both theJakartaOne - PortugeseandJakartaOne - Spanishvirtual conferences!

You can now catch up on the videos: vendor talks, discussing what we do at Payara Services, benefits of our products, and more about our customers; and at Jakarta One - Spanish, an informative microservices security talk, using identity platformOkta. 

A key goal of Jakarta Concurrency is creating a simple path betweenJava SEandJakarta EE (previously Java EE) - making it easy for organisations scaling up to migrate their mission-critical applications to the enterprise-orientated Jakarta EE specifications.

Steve Millidgeexplained more in hisEclipse FoundationJakarta EE Tech Talk. You can now watch the video! 

Did you know? Payara Services is the proud recipient of a 2021 Queen's Award for Enterprise - International Trade. Often called the "Knighthood for Business", theQueen's Award is the UK's premier business accolade. 

On the back of this achievement, our CEO and Founder Steve Millidge was in high demand as an interviewee. In two recent interviews, you can find out more about what winning this award meant, Payara as a business, more about our open source business model and even Steve's motto! 

We are now sharing the FINAL video in our'Dismiss the Myths: Get to Know Jakarta EE (Java EE)'. 

This one asks the question: 'Is the Java EE Deployment Model Out of Date?'. We definitely don't think so! 

Steve Millidgeshows you why the Java EE (Jakarta EE) deployment model is not old fashioned or out of date - and goes into battle with Spring!
