Payara Case Study
SEO & PPC
The Backstory
Payara Server is an open-source middleware server which had been developed as a drop-in replacement for Oracle’s GlassFish Server, which is no longer supported by Oracle and has numerous bugs.
This platform is used by major enterprises such as NASA, BMW & Papa Johns, and as such, this creates a gap in the market for an effective and competitively priced direct replacement.
