Using Payara Platform with Jelastic Saves Time and Money

Jelastic is not immediately the name that comes up when you have a cloud provider in mind. But using Payara Platform with the Jelastic PAAS solution allows you to perform all the typical tasks that you expect:

  • Set up a single instance of Payara Server
  • Run a Docker image containing Payara Micro in less than a minute
  • Clustering can be done very easily – with Payara Server doing all the hard work for you when setting up the Deployment group on the different instances
  • Jelastic billing based on actual resources used by your notes (not the theoretical maximum of your configured environment)

  • You Might Not Need Kubernetes. Or Containers. 23 Jan 2024

    Kubernetes is a topic that is frequently discussed in the development community, especially as the IT landscape increasingly shifts towards cloud and microservices. However, it’s crucial to evaluate whether it is genuinely indispensable for your environment or just another case of the next 'new and shiny' object capturing attention without substantial benefits. In this blog, we’ll delve into the reasons why Kubernetes might sometimes fall victim to the hype and explore whether it is the right fit for all scenarios. 

  • Reassessing Native Compilation for Jakarta EE Applications – A Pragmatic Perspective 06 Dec 2023

    Java’s Ahead-of-Time (AOT) native compilation, as seen in frameworks like GraalVM, boasts rapid startup times and lower memory usage. However, for Jakarta EE application developers, the practical benefits of these advantages often don’t translate into substantial economic or technical gains. This leads to questioning the viability of investing resources into adapting existing Jakarta EE applications for GraalVM compatibility.

  • Automated Jakarta EE Cloud Deployments With GitHub Actions And Payara Cloud 01 Dec 2023

    Cloud deployment refers to the process of hosting applications on a remote server infrastructure, accessible over the internet. This paradigm has revolutionised software development, offering immense scalability, flexibility, and efficiency. Traditional deployment methods have evolved to embrace modern cloud environments, ranging from Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), where you manage servers but not physical hardware, to Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a Service (SaaS) solutions, which abstract much of the server management and maintenance tasks.
