As an app developer we know you’re expected to do everything from writing the code to deploying the application. We also know the potential problems you face when provisioning the Jakarta EE runtime, TLS and SSL certificates, the Pod, setting up your containers, and the nightmare of making it all work with Kubernetes…
And so we’re creating an easier way to run your apps on the cloud. Payara Cloud is a cloud native runtime that runs and scales Jakarta EE/MicroProfile applications seamlessly. 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.

Ivar Grimstad is a Java Champion & Developer Advocate for Jakarta EE at the Eclipse Foundation. He was an early tester of Payara Cloud and gives his testimonial in this video.
He says:
“There aren’t many comparable products like Payara Cloud out there today. Payara Cloud is simpler. It’s easier. And, it’s just straightforward to use for developers!”
Our recorded demo will take you through the log in to creating your namespace, adding an application, and deploying it. You can also watch our short bite sized getting started videos to learn about connecting to a database, defining a custom domain and search logs.

Java expert Adam Bien tried out Payara Cloud and said:
“What I really like about this approach is, we have Helidon, Quarkus. They try to shift the deployment to the build time. Payara Cloud is completely different. It uses what application servers do the best: the separation of the infrastructure from the business logic.”
It is more simple than AWS Lambda, if you already know Jakarta EE
It uses what application servers do the best: the separation of the infrastructure from the business logic. I can create just the business logic and push it to the cloud, and not care about the servers.
If you compare Payara Cloud to a blank, “vanilla” cloud, it is hugely productive. I created CI/CD pipelines and the build alone in two and half minutes.
What is Payara Cloud?
Payara Cloud is a cloud-native deployment platform that provides a fully managed environment for deploying and running your Jakarta EE/MicroProfile applications. It is built on top of Payara Enterprise and offers a range of features and services for deploying, scaling, and managing your applications in the cloud
What are the key features of Payara Cloud?
Payara Cloud offers several key features, including automatic scaling, high availability, monitoring and metrics, security, centralized logging, seamless integration with other cloud services, and a user-friendly web-based management console.
What programming languages/frameworks does Payara Cloud support?
Payara Cloud is designed to run Jakarta EE Web Profile applications written mostly in Java.
Can I deploy my existing Java EE applications on Payara Cloud?
Yes, you can deploy your existing Java EE Web Profile applications on Payara Cloud without any modifications. Payara Cloud provides full compatibility with Java EE (8) and Jakarta EE (10) standards, ensuring that your applications run seamlessly.
Can I run multiple applications?
Yes, within Payara Cloud you can deploy multiple applications within the same namespace and, you can create multiple Namespaces to host several applications.
Does Payara Cloud also host Database instances?
At the moment, you should maintain a database installation yourself, in the cloud or on-premise. You can configure your database instances within your application using the standard Jakarta EE database connections constructs. These will be automatically picked and displayed on your Payara Cloud monitoring console for easy editing.
How does automatic scaling work in Payara Cloud?
Payara Cloud can automatically scale your applications based on predefined rules or metrics such as CPU utilization, memory usage, or incoming request rates. It dynamically adjusts the number of instances running your application to match the demand, ensuring optimal performance and resource utilization.
Can I integrate Payara Cloud with other cloud services?
Yes, Payara Cloud provides seamless integration with other cloud services and platforms. You can easily connect your applications to databases, storage services, message queues, and more, offered by various cloud providers.
Is Payara Cloud secure?
Yes, Payara Cloud prioritizes security and provides a secure environment for your applications. It includes features like network isolation, encryption, secure access controls, and automated security updates to protect your applications and data. Your applications deploy in separate containers to isolate them from the actions of other applications. They only have partial internet exposure, which allows only applications in the same namespace to access them via private endpoints. Payara Cloud also generates SSL certificates for your applications.
Can I have multiple users on my Payara Cloud account?
At the moment, multiple users would need to access the environment using the same username and password. Fine grained access control is on the roadmap and will be released in the near future.
How does Payara Cloud handle high availability?
Payara Cloud ensures high availability by automatically distributing your application instances across multiple availability zones. In the event of a failure, it can quickly recover your application on another healthy instance, minimizing downtime.
Can I monitor and manage my applications in Payara Cloud?
Yes, Payara Cloud provides comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities. It offers builtin metrics and monitoring dashboards, allowing you to track the performance and health of your applications. Additionally, you can use the web-based management console to configure and manage various aspects of your applications.
Is there downtime when I upgrade my application?
No. Your current running version will be available until the new one is done deploying, which will take the place of the last running one. There is the possibility of a negligible downtime during the layover from the old to the new version. All uploaded and undeployed application versions will still be available for easy rollback at any point in time.
How do I pick the appropriate runtime size for my application?
The runtime size specifies the amount of resources to allocate for this instance and count against the included vCPU of your subscription. The following CPU has been reserved: • Small – 0.25 vCPU • Medium – 0.5 vCPU • Large – 1 vCPU • XL (available in Standard and Premium subscriptions only) – 2 vCPU
