When it comes to choosing an application server for your enterprise environment, it looks like there’s plenty of fish in the sea. However, what each type of fish can offer can vary considerably. Hence, selecting the right one is key to improving your business’s efficiency, security, scalability and overall success.

If you’re currently using GlassFish, it’s time to consider casting your net wider and migrating to a more powerful fish, such as Payara Platform Enterprise. Let’s explore the key benefits of making this transition and why Payara could be the perfect catch for your application and enterprise needs.

The GlassFish application server, previously the standard implementation for Java EE, was once a
reliable platform for deploying production Java EE applications. However, when commercial support was discontinued, it marked a turning point for GlassFish as a viable product for businesses.

If your organisation relies on GlassFish for production workloads, it’s important to consider the benefits of a commercially supported runtime for your Java and Jakarta EE applications. While a community product might suffice in the short term, the lack of predictable updates, reliable security patches and professional support from a trusted vendor can expose your systems to unnecessary risks and vulnerabilities.

With its roots in GlassFish, Payara Platform Enterprise offers an ideal solution to upgrade your application server with no hassle.
