Designed to support Jakarta EE applications in the cloud, the solution offers an innovative ‘click-to-deploy’, fully managed runtime from Payara Services Ltd., the leader in application server technology. Payara Cloud, one of the finalists in the running up to become the most innovative cloud product of the year, is an enabling technology for cloud computing. This is a fully managed runtime that runs and scales Jakarta EE/MicroProfile applications seamlessly while managing all the cloud infrastructure for users. It offers a flexible and powerful way to easily run software applications on the cloud through a ‘plug-and-play’ deployment framework for developers and DevOps specialists. This is achieved by automating the deployment pipeline, which simplifies and shortens the deployments and management of software applications to the cloud, significantly reducing costs and time-to-market. More specifically, Payara Cloud redefines the way Jakarta EE applications are deployed, taking an approach that handles server-related complexities on behalf of users. It leverages the core principles of Jakarta EE to isolate deployable applications from infrastructure intricacies. As a result, Payara Cloud helps businesses futureproof their operations and benefit from the cloud by revolutionizing how Java-centric software applications are deployed and managed in this space. In addition, Payara Cloud dynamically adjusts to application needs, providing automatic scaling and robust performance.
