Jakarta Data and NoSQL - Standardized Data Access for Jakarta EE

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 07:00:01 +0000

The amount of data collected by applications nowadays is growing rapidly. Many of them need to support both relational SQL and non-relational NoSQL databases. Jakarta Data provides an API to allow easy data access. Developers can split the persistence mechanism and the model using common features like the Repository pattern and seamlessly switch between SQL and NoSQL databases or even use both in the same application.

What are NoSQL Databases?

NoSQL databases, also called “not only SQL”, “non-Relational” or “non-SQL”, are a type of database management system, where storage and querying data are performed differently from traditional ways used in relational databases.

JAVA & JAKARTA EE and THE EVOLUTION OF THE CLOUD WITH NANOS UNIKERNEL...

The Future of Computing oNcloud, onprem, onedge of Java Is Already Here!

For years, Kubernetes has been regarded as the de-facto standard for modernizing Java applications in a cloud-native direction. Yet Kubernetes is not the only path to scalability, continuous upgrades, and isolation. There is an alternative approach, often underestimated, which consists of leveraging the hypervisors already included and fully managed by the major cloud providers, running Unikernel images based on Nanos.

Java at Eclipse: Honoring the Legacy, Securing the Future of Open Source Innovation

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 07:00:01 +0000

Java changed software development and reshaped open source innovation forever, but its future was uncertain for a while. Would it remain an innovative force, or would closed governance and slow progress relegate it to history? Enter the Eclipse Foundation, where the future of open source Java was reimagined.

Java’s journey famously began in the mid-1990s, revolutionising software development with its “write once, run anywhere” promise. Originally, Java, the language, was called “Oak,” a name chosen by its creator, James Gosling, after an oak tree outside his office. Oak trees are known for their deep roots and longevity, much like Java, which has remained a cornerstone of software development for decades. While the name was later changed due to trademark issues, its original symbolism reflects Java’s foundational role in modern computing: a language built to be powerful, adaptable, and enduring. Open-sourced by Oracle in 2007, it has become the backbone of enterprise applications, cloud computing, and mobile development.

AI Tools for Jakarta EE

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 23:42:38 +0000

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world of software development, including Jakarta EE. Traditionally, developers relied on project generators, visual designers, and IDE auto-completion to build applications. However, these tools often lacked adaptability, context awareness, and efficiency. AI-powered tools such as Payara Starter and Jeddict AI Assistant are now addressing these limitations, accelerating development workflows, and empowering developers to focus on innovation. This article explores how these tools enhance Jakarta EE development, using a conference application as a practical example. Additionally, it discusses future possibilities, including AI assistants integrated with Payara Server for server setup and diagnostics.
