Payara Cloud 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.
Payara Cloud 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 Cloud 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 Cloud without any modifications. Payara Cloud provides full compatibility with Java EE (8) and Jakarta EE (10) standards, and more, ensuring that your applications run seamlessly.
Yes, within Payara Cloud 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 Cloud monitoring console for easy editing.
Payara Cloud 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 Cloud 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 Cloud prioritizes security and provides a secure environment for your applications. It 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. Payara Cloud also generates SSL certificates for your applications.
Enables access of multiple users per subscription. Invite users to subscriptions via email – register for a new Payara Cloud account or use existing. There are different roles, each with its own set of permissions.
Payara Cloud can be highly available by distributing your application instances across multiple availability zones. In the event of a failure, it can quickly recover your application on another healthy instance, minimizing downtime.
Yes, Payara Cloud 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.
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, your Payara Cloud 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.
