Overview of Software Requirements

Overview of Payara Micro

We will use Payara Micro, a simple to use and compatible Jakarta EE 8 runtime, to run the examples in this course. Since all of our examples will use Jakarta EE-compliant constructs, you can use whatever runtime you prefer to run the demo code in this course. Look up the documentation of any Jakarta EE 8 supported runtime, such as WildFly or OpenLiberty.

The code examples here are designed to illustrate certain concepts, not necessarily to be production-ready or follow best practices. We will take some shortcuts in the examples that you should not use in your production code.

Installation requirements

As previously discussed, this course requires Java, Maven, and Payara Micro. We will start with Java, since it’s an essential requirement.
