If you’re running GlassFish in your production or development environment and are worried about the lack of support from Oracle, infrequent application server releases, lack of bug fixes and patches – Payara Server is an ideal solution for you!
Payara Server Enterprise is an open source application server derived from GlassFish, supporting reliable and secure deployments of Jakarta EE (Java EE) applications in any environment: on premise, in the cloud or hybrid.

How is Payara Server Enterprise better than GlassFish?
Optimized for mission critical production systems in any environment, Payara Server (see the data sheet) is compatible with the services you’re already using, container-friendly, and fully supported with a 10-year software lifecycle. Used as a drop in replacement for GlassFish Server Open Source Edition, Payara Server gives you a peace of mind of monthly releases containing bug fixes and patches to ensure the security and stability of your production environment.
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.
