Jakarta EE Pain Points: What’s Holding You Back?

• Security Concerns:
  “With the constant stream of new vulnerabilities, how confident are you that your Java EE environment remains fully compliant and secure?“

• Versioning and Upgrades:
  “Do Jakarta EE updates and version upgrades feel like a smooth transition, or do they introduce unexpected complexities in your system?“

• Monitoring and Troubleshooting:
  “When performance issues arise, do you have the right tools and visibility to pinpoint and resolve them quickly?“

Are These Java EE Challenges Slowing You Down?

Maintaining and optimizing Java EE application infrastructure comes with its own set of challenges. Many IT leaders struggle with:

• Performance bottlenecks: Ensuring stability under high workloads without excessive tuning.

• Security concerns: Keeping up with vulnerability patches and compliance requirements.

• Operational overhead: Managing server configurations, clustering, and deployments efficiently.

• Scalability limitations: Adapting to cloud-native environments without costly re-architecting.

Vendor Lock-in & Open-Source Support Gaps

• Reliance on proprietary solutions due to a lack of open-source support.
• Uncertainty about the long-term sustainability and roadmap of open-source Jakarta EE servers.
• Challenges in migrating from proprietary Java EE servers to Jakarta EE.

Compatibility & Integration Issues

• Difficulty integrating Jakarta EE with modern frameworks like Spring Boot and Quarkus.
• Inconsistencies when moving between different Jakarta EE application servers.
• Ensuring backward compatibility with older Java EE applications.

Questions Every Jakarta EE Professional Should Ask

• Performance Bottlenecks:
  How often do you find yourself tweaking performance settings on your Jakarta EE open-source server, only to see diminishing returns?
  Are your applications running optimally, or do performance inconsistencies make you question whether your current Jakarta EE runtime is holding you back?

• Security Concerns:
  With security patches and compliance requirements constantly evolving, how confident are you that your Jakarta EE server is staying ahead of vulnerabilities?
  Have you ever delayed a critical security update because you weren’t sure how it would impact your existing applications?

• Operational Overhead:
  Is managing clustering, server configurations, and deployments in your Jakarta EE environment more complex than it should be?
  If you could cut down on manual server maintenance, how much more could your team focus on actual development?

• • Scalability Limitations:
    Is your Jakarta EE server truly ready for cloud-native workloads, or does scaling up feel like an uphill battle?
    Are you able to efficiently containerize and orchestrate your Jakarta EE applications, or does the infrastructure demand constant attention?

• Vendor Lock-in & Open-Source Support Gaps:
  Do you feel forced into proprietary Java EE solutions due to a lack of enterprise-ready Jakarta EE open-source servers?
  As an open-source user, do you ever wonder how the sustainability and future of GlassFish and other Jakarta EE servers might impact your long-term roadmap?

• Compatibility & Integration Issues:
  Have you ever run into unexpected issues when migrating between different Jakarta EE servers, or is GlassFish still your safest bet for compatibility?
  How seamless is your experience integrating Jakarta EE with modern frameworks like Spring Boot or Quarkus, and what’s missing?

A Seamless Jakarta EE Experience: What If?
