Payara Cloud Overview

What is Payara Cloud?

Payara Cloud is the next generation of cloud native application runtime. It offers a flexible and powerful way to easily run your Jakarta EE apps on the cloud. Simply select your WAR, click deploy, and watch your apps run on the cloud – automatically, like magic. Any web application following the Jakarta Web Profile specification can be uploaded and it will run in a containerized Payara Micro instance. 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 “serverless” 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.
