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

 

In this short introductory demo we will show you how to start Payara Micro and demonstrate how simple it is to use its dynamic clustering feature.

 

 

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

 

Before putting any application out for public access, it’s always worth testing that it works how you expect it to (and also how you don’t expect it to!). Effective testing of applications is something you can spend a week being taught, but for this blog I’ll just cover the basics of running JUnit and TestNG tests against Payara® Server & Micro using Arquillian.

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).

It may be hard to believe in 2018, but there was once a time before Amazon Web Services. In 2006, Amazon launched what was to become the most dominant platform in cloud computing - the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). While there were a lot of early adopters who could see the benefits of "Infrastructure as a Service" (IaaS) style cloud computing - a notable example being Dropbox - there were many who were sceptical of the hype around the "cloud" and prompted stickers like the one pictured.

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.

 

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.
