Draft:Payara Services

  • Comment: Not one of the sources cited contributes anything towards notability per WP:NCORP. Given this, and the multiple earlier declines, I can only conclude that the subject is not notable enough to warrant inclusion in the encyclopaedia. To avoid further reviewer effort being expended on this, I am therefore now rejecting rather than merely declining this draft. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:45, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Payara Services Ltd

[edit]

Payara Services Ltd is a British software company founded in 2014 that develops open-source application servers for Jakarta EE (formerly Java EE) applications. Its primary products are Payara Server and Payara Micro, which are designed for enterprise environments.

History

[edit]

In November 2013, Oracle Corporation announced that it would discontinue commercial support for GlassFish Server, the reference implementation of Java EE.[1] In response, Payara Services was founded in 2014 by Steve Millidge.[2] The company introduced Payara Server, which is based on the GlassFish Open Source Edition and is an open-source platform for enterprise Java applications.[3]

In 2017, Payara Services became a member of the Eclipse Foundation, contributing to the development of Jakarta EE.[4]

Products

[edit]
  • Payara Server: An open-source application server derived from GlassFish, used in enterprise environments that require regular updates and long-term support.[5]
  • Payara Micro: A smaller version of Payara Server, used in cloud-native and microservices architectures. It integrates with Docker and Kubernetes for deployment in cloud environments.[6]

Community Involvement

[edit]

Payara Services is involved in various open-source projects, including Jakarta EE and Eclipse MicroProfile, contributing to the development of enterprise Java standards and the broader Java community.[7] In May 2024, Payara launched a tech-focused media and community challenge to facilitate knowledge exchange within the Java community.[8]

Recognition

[edit]

In 2021, Payara Services received the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category, recognizing its growth in overseas earnings and contributions to the UK's economy.[9] In 2024, Payara was a finalist for the Investors in People Awards, acknowledged for its commitment to staff development and excellence in organizational management.[10]
