In this blog, which follows on from the Cloud Connectors in Payara Micro, we will explain the Microsoft Azure Service Bus connector and how to use it in Payara Server and Payara Micro (the Payara Platform).

Payara Micro 172 brings with it support for JCA adapters, meaning it can be used as a client for Java Messaging Service (JMS) brokers. JMS is a Java EE API which provides a common interface for standard communication protocols. This means that you can send and receive messages between systems in a platform and language independent way. With Payara Micro now supporting JMS, you can setup your Micro instance as a JMS client with Message Driven Beans (MDBs) to listen and respond to messages from other systems through a message broker.

Continuing our introductory blog series, this blog will demonstrate how to set up a simple Hazelcast cluster of two instances.

In contrast to a development environment, where a single server is enough to act as a "proof of concept", in production it is usually necessary to look at reliably hosting your application across multiple redundant hosts to guarantee a reliable service and allow for future scaling. With Payara Server, it is possible to easily create and add instances to clusters using Hazelcast, making configuration of a distributed application a breeze.

Continuando con nuestra serie de introducción, este blog va a demostrar como configurar un cluster sencillo de dos instancias mediante Hazelcast.
