Payara Micro takes a new approach to deploying and running Java applications. It also comes with automatic and elastic clustering and takes into consideration modern day approaches, such as Docker containers. The Payara Micro executable itself is less than 70 MB and is a self-contained JAR. This JAR can be used to generate an Uber JAR or start a micro instance with the application deployed to it. Some of the capabilities that Payara offers are:
- Embedded servers
- Uber JAR approach
- Deploying and running an application using the Payara JAR executable
- Automatic clustering
This capabilities can be briefly explained as follows:
- Embedding server: This can be done by using the fish.payar.micro package, which offers APIs for bootstrapping a micro instance programmatically with a single line:
PayaraMicro.bootstrap();
- Uber JAR...
