We recently held our regular monthly online event hosted by Rudy De Busscher to discuss the recent updates and enhancements to the Payara Platform in the latest release. For this months theme we also had a community discussion about the monitoring tools available in the Payara Platform, and our future plans.

Payara Platform Enterprise users will be pleased to hear that we released a refactor of the MicroProfile OpenAPI implementation we provide in Payara Platform Community 5.2020.3 with the aim of addressing a number of issues and requests that had been raised over time. The original blog, detailing some of these features, can be found here. 

OpenAPI Refactor has now been included in the Payara Platform Enterprise 5.23.0 release.

In Payara Server Enterprise 5.23 we continued improving our monitoring solution released in Payara Server Enterprise 5.22.0 (read about it here) called Payara InSight. The main focus of improvements for this release is the representation of alerts in the user interface. We also had a closer look at how widget content is arranged and coloured which also lead us to add further configuration options.

Payara Tools for IntelliJ IDEA:

Payara IntelliJ IDEA tool's initial release is out and available on the JetBrains Marketplace and Payara Enterprise repository. Payara IntelliJ IDEA tools provide integration of the Payara Platform Enterprise & Community Editions into the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.

Introduction

The Payara Enterprise Release 5.22.0 is the first Payara Enterprise release to include our fully integrated and greatly improved real-time monitoring and alerting solution called Payara InSight (formerly known as Payara Monitoring Console in Payara Community).

We're happy to announce that Payara Platform Enterprise 5.21.2 (request here) Edition is out today!

Payara Platform Enterprise Edition is designed to run mission-critical Jakarta EE applications in production environments with increased stability and security. Payara Enterprise is fully supported and offers access to production-oriented features and developer tools - including a wide range of supported IDE extensions, build tool plugins, test containers and connectors available under the Payara Enterprises repository.

With an estimated third of the global population under “lockdown” during the peak of COVID-19, organizations were forced to rapidly shift to remote working environments - prepared or not. The unplanned change in operations put significant pressures on existing systems and tested business continuity plans.Check out this whitepaper with the results of a recent survey of the community to learn about COVID-19 business challenges and how open source technology has helped. 

Recently we rebranded the Community and Enterprise Editions of the Payara Platform to clarify and strengthen the differences between our Community software and our Enterprise subscriptions for customers.
