Get Help With Your Migration
If you’d like our team to assist you with the migration, start with our Migration & Project Support and add Payara Accelerator consulting services. Payara Accelerator can migrate the application on your behalf for a single, fixed project price or can assist with your migration at set points in the lifecycle. Here is how we help you with the complete migration lifecycle, from evaluation to implementation to performance tuning:
Migration Assessment
To help you evaluate the possibility of migrating to the Payara Platform, a migration assessment will determine the level of complexity, risk, and effort required. The assessment is split into 3 phases:
1. Documenting Your Current Architecture
Our consultants look at your existing technology, components, security, and use cases to gain a comprehensive view of your system.
2. Creating an Outline Candidate Architecture
Our team creates an outline candidate architecture to achieve the same functionality as your current architecture on the Payara Platform.
3. Designing Your Migration Roadmap
The creation of the migration roadmap details the steps required to move from your current architecture to the new architecture.
Development Services
The Payara Accelerator team can migrate the application on behalf of the customer as a single fixed price project.
Performance Testing and Tuning
The Payara Accelerator team can provide performance testing and tuning service to ensure the Payara Production infrastructure is optimized and tuned for customer’s specific application workflow.
Monitoring Review and Setup
Using modern SRE principles, we will set up the Payara Platform for monitoring by on-premise software (e.g. Prometheus, ZipKin) and provide introductory-level training on how to make the most of the data (e.g. use high-percentile latency monitoring)
Production Installation and Configuration
The Payara Accelerator Consultancy service will set up Payara Server with optimum settings when you are ready to move into production.
