Payara and Azul have announced a strategic partnership to help enterprises modernize their Java applications with a codeless, lift-and-shift migration solution, reducing infrastructure and cloud costs and boosting performance and scalability.
The two companies, leveraging their extensive expertise in Java server and runtime technologies, will provide an integrated product offering that supports seamless cloud adoption and simplified deployment management while turbocharging application performance.
The solution combines Payara Qube and Azul Platform Prime, Azul’s high-performance Java platform. Payara Qube provides an intuitive platform that leverages automation, pre-configured Kubernetes environments, built-in observability and compliance-ready controls to help development teams deploy any enterprise Java applications quickly and securely.
Azul Platform Prime, known for its superior speed, start-up and warm-up, and consistency vs. typical OpenJDK distributions, enhances the Java runtime layer—ensuring Java applications and JVM-based workloads run faster, more efficiently, and more reliably in production environments. The combined solution requires no application code changes and works with any Java application and any JVM-based workload.
The partnership enables global companies — especially those in highly regulated sectors— to simplify and accelerate application modernization via codeless lift-and-shift migrations, while reducing infrastructure and cloud costs and maintaining full control over their cloud environments. The combined solution is particularly valuable for teams managing large portfolios of Java applications or working across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
