One of the new features in Payara Platform version 5.182 is full compatibility with MicroProfile 1.3. In this blog post, I will introduce OpenAPI 1.0, a new API in MicroProfile 1.3. This functionality is available in both Payara Server and Payara Micro in version 5.182. It's also available in version 4.1.2.182 for Payara Support customers.

Recently Ondrej Mihalyi, Payara Support Engineer, spoke at the JPrime conference.  Below you will find his slides from his presentation.

Recently I was tasked with preparing a presentation on an update to Jakarta EE and Eclipse MicroProfile® and it got me thinking about the organisation and structure involved in this huge effort to transform Java EE into a truly open source standard under the Eclipse Foundation. While organising my thoughts I put together a picture showing the structure and tensions of this undertaking to help people understand what various groups do and perhaps how better to get involved. The structure and governance is evolving as I write this so I may not get everything right. 

Recently Gaurav Gupta (Principal Developer at Payara) made this presentation at the Great Indian Developer Summit in Bangalore.  

This quick tutorial will show you how to build your next microservice with the latest version of Eclipse MicroProfile APIs.

 

One of the new features in Payara Server and Payara Micro 4.1.2.181 and 5.181 is full compatibility with MicroProfile 1.2. In this blog, I will introduce Metrics 1.0, a new API of MicroProfile 1.2 to use with Payara Micro (and Payara Server).

Learn how to avoid common microservices pitfalls and uncover expert acknowledged design patterns and best practices.

 

First quarter of 2018 will bring with it our long-awaited Payara 5, fresh out of Beta. Scheduled for a Q1 release (download the Release Candidate here), Payara 5 brings with it a host of improvements to Payara Server and Payara Micro. Bringing long-awaited upgrades to a raft of APIs, as well as a rethinking of the cluster concept, Payara 5 also brings us up to date with Eclipse MicroProfile 1.2 and the core functionality of GlassFish 5.

 

We are very excited about the upcoming release of Payara Platform 5! With the new Data Grid, MicroProfile 1.2 support and incorporation of the Java EE 8 reference implementations it is shaping up to be a great release. 

 

With the release imminent, I thought now is a good time to let people know about some of the changes taking place in Payara Release Streams and Development, and how this affects both customers and users of the community version of Payara.

 

Configuration is an important aspect of programming. However, a standard approach to it has been missing in Java for a long time. A year ago, the MicroProfile project decided to change that. I'm glad I could be part of it and help design the new API. One year later, a common configuration API aiming to set a standard is a reality, with several released versions and multiple projects that provide it. Payara Server and Payara Micro have supported MicroProfile Config API since version 4.1.2.173. We added support for Config 1.1 in version 4.1.2.174 and completed the support for all Eclipse MicroProfile 1.2 features in version 4.1.2.181. So let's summarize what's new since Config 1.0.
