Payara Micro - Small, Simple, Serious

Payara Micro, compatible with Eclipse MicroProfile, enables you to run war files from the command line without any application server installation. It is small, < 70 MB in size, and incredibly simple to use. Payara Micro enables Java EE developers to build cloud-native microservices without learning any new skills. With its automatic and elastic clustering, Payara Micro is designed for running Java EE applications in a modern containerised infrastructure.

I use Payara Server both for education and for some in-house systems.

I also use Payara Micro for various Java EE demonstrations. Payara Server fits any purposes and always meets my expectations. I can certainly recommend Payara Server for Java EE applications.

Then, I found Payara.

I was initially afraid that Payara Server wasn’t going to track GlassFish progress, but since that progress is so few and far between, this fear quickly dissipated.
I started using Payara Server and haven’t looked back. The killer feature has really been Hazelcast integration. This has finally enabled me to achieve zero-downtime deployment and upgrades.

Payara Server allowed us to meet all of our goals.

We achieved a significant cost savings in the process. With Payara Server's ease of installation and great support, what you get is open-source software that anyone thinking of successful deployment and implementation of Java EE in their environment needs to try!
