GlassFish to Payara Server Migration
The Migration & Project Support that I’ve received from the Payara Engineers has been exceptional thus far. They helped me pinpoint an issue that we’ve been having and also referenced me to the GitHub page where another user had a similar issue. Furthermore, they have back-tested the issue that we’d experienced and figured out what the latest version is that we can upgrade to, where our existing code-base would still work. In the meantime, while the Support Team was busy investigating the issue, we migrated from GlassFish to Payara Server on one of our production servers. Thus far, the transition has been seamless and exciting. Mark Bekker, HelloGroup

Overall the migration from GlassFish 3 over to Payara Platform 5 was a straightforward process. There was no need for major code rewrites. Setar invested in the Migration & Project Support for help during the migration process and Payara’s engineering team was clearly knowledgeable when answering the support tickets. I’m enjoying the fact that all my knowledge about GlassFish can now be applied to the usage of Payara Platform. There is no need to put time aside to learn about a different technology, our team can start working with Payara Platform hands on straight away. Enrick Lopez, lead developer at SETAR NV

WebLogic to Payara Server Migration
We migrated the backend of the product we built for our client from WebLogic to Payara Server with great success. Payara Server has a much more modern feature-set and feel, gets you up and running quicker and we saved a lot of time configuring the server compared to WebLogic. Several things that were a big hassle to configure with WebLogic worked out of the box with Payara Server, Bean Validation being a prime example of this. We are now looking to the future and planning a move towards a more microservices oriented architecture with Payara Micro in mind. I would recommend both Payara Server and Payara Micro to anybody who values consistency, stability and productivity for their application development and deployment. Daniel Löfquist, HiQ
