Is Kubernetes Slowing Down Your Java Team?
Stop Wrestling with Kubernetes & CI/CD Pipelines
You don’t need to be a Kubernetes expert to deploy enterprise Java applications in the cloud. But traditional cloud platforms force you to:
- Spend weeks learning complex container orchestration
- Write and debug endless YAML configuration files
- Hire expensive DevOps engineers just to manage infrastructure
- Deal with constant maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting

Testimonials
Trusted by Java Developers Worldwide
“What I really like about this approach is, we have Helidon, Quarkus. They try to shift the deployment to the build time. Payara Cloud (Payara Qube Managed) is completely different. It uses what application servers do the best: the separation of the infrastructure from the business logic.”
Adam Bien
Java expert
“There aren’t many comparable products like Payara Cloud (Payara Qube Managed) out there today. Payara Cloud is simpler. It’s easier. And, it’s just straightforward to use for developers!”
Ivar Grimstad
Java Champion & Developer Advocate for Jakarta EE at the Eclipse Foundation.

Payara Qube FAQs
Payara Qube is a cloud-native deployment platform that provides a fully managed environment for deploying and running your Jakarta EE/Spring/Quarkus applications. It is built on top of Payara Enterprise and offers a range of features and services for deploying, scaling and managing your applications in the cloud. It is available to instal on your own infrastructure using your own cloud accounts, or to use as a Platform as a Service on Payara hosted or hybrid cloud environments.
Payara Qube offers several key features, including automatic scaling, high availability, monitoring and metrics, security, centralized logging, seamless integration with other cloud services, and a user-friendly web-based management console.
Payara Qube is designed to run applications written on the Jakarta EE (and MicroProfile), Spring and Quarkus Platforms.
Yes, you can deploy your existing Java EE Web Profile applications on Payara Qube without any modifications. Payara Qube provides full compatibility with Java EE (8) and Jakarta EE (10) standards, and more, ensuring that your applications run seamlessly.
Yes, within Payara Qube you can deploy multiple applications within the same namespace and, you can create multiple Namespaces to host several applications.
At the moment, you should maintain a database installation yourself, in the cloud or on-premise. You can configure your database instances within your application using the standard Jakarta EE database connections constructs. These will be automatically picked and displayed on your Payara Qube monitoring console for easy editing.
Payara Qube can automatically scale your applications based on predefined rules or metrics such as CPU utilization, memory usage, or incoming request rates. It dynamically adjusts the number of instances running your application to match the demand, ensuring optimal performance and resource utilization.
Yes, Payara Qube provides seamless integration with other cloud services and platforms. You can easily connect your applications to databases, storage services, message queues, and more, offered by various cloud providers.
Yes, Payara Qube prioritizes security and provides a secure environment for your applications.
Our managed service includes features like network isolation, encryption, secure access controls, and automated security updates to protect your applications and data. Your applications deploy in separate containers to isolate them from the actions of other applications. They only have partial internet exposure, which allows only applications in the same namespace to access them via private endpoints.
Our installable product offer complete data sovereignty and infrastructure control. You can authenticate through Keycloak and we have fine-grained access and application management controls for your organisation. We prioritise security-first architecture with encryption, secure access, automatic updates.
Payara Qube also generates SSL certificates for your applications
Enables access of multiple users per organisation or subscription. There are different roles, each with its own set of permissions.
On both the installable and managed versions you can invite users via email. In the managed solution, register for a new Payara Qube account or use an existing one.
Payara Qube can be highly available by distributing your application instances across multiple availability zones and/or multiple cloud providers. In the event of a failure, it can quickly recover your application on another healthy instance, minimizing downtime.
Yes, Payara Qube provides comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities. It offers built in metrics and monitoring dashboards, allowing you to track the performance and health of your applications. Additionally, you can use the web-based management console to configure and manage various aspects of your applications.
No. Your current running version will be available until the new one is done deploying, which will take the place of the last running one. There is the possibility of a negligible downtime during the layover from the old to the new version. All uploaded and undeployed application versions will still be available for easy rollback at any point in time.
In the Payara Qube managed service, the runtime size refers to the compute resources allocated to a given application. Runtime sizes are calculated in vCPU (virtual CPU) units. The smallest unit you can assign to an application is 0.25 vCPU. The appropriate runtime size for your application will depend on the application need.
By default, in our managed service your Payara Qube data, including application binaries and user information, are hosted in Microsoft Azure’s EU region. You can also choose to store your application data in Azure’s US region when creating a namespace.
