How Payara Cloud Works

Reimagining Jakarta EE Runtimes

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.

“Payara Cloud follows opposite design decisions to the “nextgeneration standards.” The application server cluster becomes a Kubernetes Operator and manages the nodes for you.

You don’t care about the server and only have to push a ThinWAR to the cloud. Payara Cloud hides the Kubernetes complexity and dramatically simplifies the infrastructure. The infrastructure is strictly separated from the business code. Payara Cloud might become the most productive way to run “boring” applications everywhere.”
– Adam Bien
