Built to support Jakarta EE, Spring, and Quarkus applications, Payara Qube provides pre-configured Kubernetes environments, built-in observability, and automated DevOps tooling, enabling development teams to modernize applications faster, deploy with confidence, and reduce operational overhead.
“Payara Qube is the result of years of innovation and collaboration with global enterprises. By automating the most technically challenging aspects of Kubernetes and cloud deployment, we enable development and operations teams to focus on delivery speed, standardization, and performance — without sacrificing control or security,” said Steve Millidge, Founder and CEO of Payara.
Purpose-Built for Modernization in Regulated Environments
Payara Qube is ideal for highly regulated industries and large enterprises aiming to modernize legacy Java applications or scale cloud-native services—all while maintaining data sovereignty, compliance, and high availability.
Key features include:
- Zero-maintenance Kubernetes with out-of-the-box automation
- Integrated diagnostics and observability tools
- Fine-grained access control and built-in security
- Support for legacy and greenfield Java workloads
- Externalized configuration with full change tracking
This allows enterprise teams to accelerate innovation, avoid costly refactoring, and release software updates safely and reliably.
High-Performance Java with Azul Prime Integration
The platform also unlocks powerful synergies when paired with Azul Platform Prime, a high-performance Java runtime known for low-latency, faster startup, and optimized resource usage.
“Payara Qube and Azul Platform Prime together offer a best-in-class Java stack for the cloud. This combination ensures faster deployment, optimized runtime performance, and lower operational costs — all while preserving alignment with open Java standards,” said Gil Tene, CTO and Co-Founder of Azul.
Cloud-Native Java Made Simple
With Payara Qube, enterprises no longer need to choose between modernization speed and infrastructure control. It provides a modern, standardized, and low-friction environment for deploying and scaling Java applications securely and efficiently in the cloud.
The launch marks a major step forward for organizations seeking to adopt Kubernetes without the complexity, offering a path to digital transformation that is cost-effective, secure, and developer-friendly.
