Enterprise Java frameworks, such as Jakarta EE, remain a mainstay in software development, supporting a large base of application in production environments. While these have been established for a long time, they remain valuable solutions to address current requirements. In particular, they can support future-oriented applications by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, such as Gen AI.
In a bid to showcase the synergies between AI and enterprise Java frameworks, Payara’s latest hackathon invites developers and innovators from around the world to engage in the creation of cutting-edge applications that leverage Gen AI within the Jakarta EE platform. Participants can join remotely and should develop prototype or proof-of-concept applications that present practical use cases highlighting the capabilities of AI in real-world enterprise Java environments.
With a total prize pool of £6,000, including £3,000 for the first-place winner, this competition will reward technical mastery in leveraging Jakarta EE and Gen AI features to create performing, impactful solutions. Participants can select which solution from Payara’s range of application server platforms would work best for their project needs.
Solutions should be submitted by November 6th and will be evaluated by Java industry champions and Jakarta EE experts based on innovation, impact, relevance, technical mastery and user experience. Winners will be announced in December. They will be spotlighted across Payara and Eclipse Foundation platforms, earn money prizes and be able to present their solutions to a worldwide Java users’ audience. As such, the event will provide participants with an opportunity to showcase their original and effective solutions to thought leaders in the sector.
“The Payara Hackathon serves as a testament to the ongoing relevance and potential of enterprise Java,” comments Hackathon organizer, Dominika Tasarz-Sochacka, Community Manager at Payara Services. “This competition is all about demonstrating how Jakarta EE is not only relevant but vital for building future-proof applications. We invite developers to explore the capabilities of Jakarta EE and Generative AI, reinforcing their roles in the future of application development.”
