Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices have become the bedrock of today’s successful DevOps practices. These however require exceptional speed, consistency and reliability in order for software professionals to deliver high-quality applications at scale. Automation offers a powerful aid to DevOps engineers involved in CI/CD activities, freeing them from repetitive and menial tasks. By leveraging automated solutions, it is therefore possible to streamline workflows, eliminate bottlenecks and speed up project progress. In this article, we discuss with Abdul Rahim, Release Automation Engineer at Payara, key DevOps automation tools as well as how they can support software application development and management.
Pushing the boundaries of innovation in application development is a must for Insurtech providers whose goal is to deliver competitive advantage for customers, positioning them at the cutting edge of customer experience, operational efficiency and resilience. Succeeding in this goal often requires a full migration to a new application server to create advanced tech capabilities. When one of the UK's leading technology service providers, CDL, aimed to re-engineer its flagship platform, it opted to migrate to Payara Server Enterprise as the most effective solution to support its goals.
It's almost time for one of the most anticipated tech events of the year: Devoxx Belgium 2024! From October 7th to 11th, the Java developer community will gather at Kinepolis, in Antwerp, Belgium, for a week of networking, learning and exploring the latest in software development. With over 3,500 attendees expected, this conference promises to be a major highlight for developers, software engineers, tech enthusiasts as well as Payarans!
Cloud computing is becoming the norm for enterprise-level applications, offering forward-looking businesses a wealth of benefits – reduced operational costs being one of them. However, cloud infrastructure expenditure can quickly spiral out of control, if managed incorrectly. By following a few, simple guidelines, companies can maximize the advantages of the cloud, including revenue, with limited, value-adding investments.
Ensuring Business Continuity When Changing Application Runtime In today’s digital age, the only constant is change. Yet, one area where change often induces hesitation is in the modernization and migration of application servers for software. Moving mission-critical applications to a different runtime environment can indeed be a daunting prospect, entailing significant investments of time, money and resources. However, when unsatisfied by their current solution, why is the fear of migration operations not giving way to the fear of missing out? In this blog series 'What’s Stopping Businesses from Application Server Migrations – Insights from Industry Players', we will look at what industry experts say and debunk server migration myths.
Payara Cloud, our increasingly popular Payara as a Service (PaaS) offering, automates the cloud deployment of your Jakarta EE and MicroProfile applications, making it easy to connect to essential services that your application relies on. This post shows you how to connect your applications to the services they need. This quick tutorial applies whether those services are inside or outside your cloud environment, as long as they are reachable across the internet.
Now that we're eight months into 2024 (already!?), and in the middle of summer, it seems like a good time to catch up and update you on the Payara Roadmap for 2024 - let's see what we've done and what we are still planning to do for the rest of the year and beyond. You can also watch the Payara Roadmap Update presented at the Virtual Payara Conference last month.
Robust and efficient application servers are crucial for companies relying on software applications, whether supporting e-commerce platforms, financial services portals, or internal operations. To ensure smooth operations and deliver seamless services to users, it's essential to partner with vendors who can provide a system runtime that offers maximum uptime. This reduces costs and optimizes performance, profitability, and user satisfaction. Effective service level agreements (SLAs) with these vendors play a key role in minimizing disruptions and ensuring that your applications run efficiently and reliably. In this blog post, we share insights from industry players on what to look for in application runtime SLAs to minimize disruptions.
With business running around the clock, customers and staff expect uninterrupted access to key software applications, making uptime essential to deliver optimum user experience. By implementing strategies aimed at keeping applications online, operational and responsive, companies can enhance their profitability, profile and overall competitiveness in the marketplace. We interviewed our experts Luqman Saeed, Fabio Turizo and Patrik Duditš to help you with a few key tips on how to develop applications with high availability, consistency and reliability.
