Payara Cloud: Free Trial!
Whilst we have you here, if you use our Jakarta EE Payara Platform solution, you might find it useful to try our fully-managed cloud native application runtime. We are offering a 15 day free trial of Payara Cloud, an ideal solution if you want to simplify your cloud deployment process, shorten development cycles, and take away the stress of Kubernetes. Simply select your WAR, click deploy, and watch your apps run on the cloud – automatically, like magic.
Watch thedemo videoand sign up for thefree trial. You will need your company Tax ID and company credit card, and will have the option to painlessly cancel after 15 days.
Any web application following the Jakarta Web Profile specification can be uploaded, and it will run in a containerized Payara Micro instance. Unlike building an application server deployment on a Cloud Infrastructure as a Service or on raw Kubernetes, Payara Cloud takes care of provisioning infrastructure, installation, configuration, deployment and scaling of your application.
