Payara is a United Kingdom-based IT services and consulting firm focused on open source Java server runtimes and related platform technologies. It offers commercial support, development services, production support, and consultancy for organizations deploying Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, GlassFish, and the Payara Platform. The company traces its origins to 2014, when commercial GlassFish support ended and Payara Server was created as a drop-in replacement, with Payara Services expanding offerings through collaboration with the Eclipse Foundation. Its client base includes organizations running mission-critical Java applications and microservices across various industries that require stable, secure, and well-supported runtimes. Payara operates as a global provider of enterprise Java infrastructure, delivering expertise and services to help customers build robust solutions while maintaining an open and collaborative community. In December 2025, Azul Systems announced the acquisition of Payara Enterprise, marking a notable development in its corporate trajectory.
