How to Make Multi-Cloud Work

Multi-cloud developments can offer real operational advantages. However, careful and strategic planning is key to maximize the gains. In fact, without clear operating models or setups, teams can experience costly missteps and cloud spent wastage. 

At Payara Services, we work closely with organizations deploying mission-critical enterprise Java applications across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. As a result, our engineering team has been actively engaged in helping companies succeed in their multi-cloud strategies, and we know first-hand what works best as well as common pitfalls. In this blog post, we look at what multi-cloud is and share key insights and tips to optimize your multi-cloud projects.

Why Developers Are Embracing PaaS & What That Means for Your Cloud Strategy

As more and more organizations embrace the cloud, Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions for application deployment and management are becoming more popular among development and DevOps teams. The promise of faster deployments, simpler maintenance, and more time for innovation is hard to ignore for teams of any size. But what are professionals really saying about PaaS and how can you make the most of it for your next project? 

We dug through candid insights from engineers, CTOs and founders and summarized our key findings in this blog post.

Mitigating Kubernetes Misconfigurations: How To Secure Your Deployments

Almost any developer looking to leverage containers turns to Kubernetes (K8s) for orchestration. However, with its complexity comes security risks, particularly misconfigurations, which remain one of the most critical attack vectors in cloud-native environments. In effect, K8s misconfigurations can lead to data breaches, privilege escalations and service disruptions. 

This blog examines key technical security challenges associated with K8s and demonstrates how to mitigate these risks through platform engineering. 

JBoss Alternatives: Best Options to Consider 

Choosing the right application server is critical for the success of enterprise-grade applications. While Red Hat’s JBoss is a commonly implemented solution, organizations may want to explore alternatives to their current applications servers and runtimes. Sure, migrations can be intimidating [LINK TO BLOG], but if JBoss is no longer a perfect fit for a specific application, a move can help meet specific requirements, such as cutting licensing costs or adopting cloud-native approaches, as well as unlock new opportunities or capabilities.  

If you're here, chances are you’re considering your options. In this blog, we’ll discuss what JBoss offers, why businesses look for alternatives as well as what key contenders to look for when exploring alternatives.

But that’s not all! We’re not slowing down — JavaLand in Germany is just around the corner. If you’re attending, make sure to meet up with our brilliant team members Dominika and Chiara, who will be representing Payara on the ground. Don’t be shy — come say hi!

7 Key Benefits of Microservices Architecture for Modern Applications

Today’s developers are tasked with building systems that are not only robust but also agile enough to keep up with evolving user demands. Microservices have emerged as a favorite among engineering teams to address these issues because they decompose applications into independent, manageable services. But how do they work, specifically? What can microservices architectures offer? And how can you adopt this paradigm within your application development team? 

If you want to know what microservices architectures can bring to your team, you’re in the right place. In this blog, we discuss the top benefits of microservices and how developers can easily embrace this approach.
