OmniFish Provide Support For The Eclipse GlassFish Server And The Piranha Cloud Runtime, Invest A Lot In Their Development

Eclipse GlassFish, with OmniFish providing enterprise support, again becomes a reliable open source Jakarta EE application server backed by a commercial company, which invests heavily into its development. Previously owned and supported by Oracle, and before that by Sun Microsystems, GlassFish has been contributed to the Eclipse Foundation. Since then, OmniFish have significantly contributed to the advancement of Eclipse GlassFish, with well over 1600 code changes (commits), which is more than 60% of all the changes since the contribution.

OmniFish is now leading the development of the final version of Eclipse GlassFish 7, which is planned to be released later in October 2022. For this upcoming release, OmniFish engineers have dramatically increased test coverage, fixed a large number of defects, realized architectural and performance improvements, and added full Jakarta EE 10 and JDK 17 support.

Piranha Cloud is a new runtime re-imagining the usage of Jakarta EE APIs in very small, embedded, and highly modular runtimes. This approach is a radical departure from the application server model. Piranha Cloud is developed from scratch but shares many implementation components with Eclipse GlassFish, such as Soteria, Mojarra, Jersey, and many more.

Quotes From The OmniFish Founders:

Ondro Mihályi, OmniFish director and co-founder:

We at OmniFish are here to support customers that build and maintain systems based on Eclipse GlassFish, need to modernize their Jakarta EE solutions, improve performance or save costs. With Piranha Cloud, we also provide a safe and supported journey from Eclipse GlassFish to cloud-native deployments with a modern and efficient runtime.

Arjan Tijms, OmniFish director and co-founder:

OmniFish will show its dedication to Jakarta EE by continuing to support Eclipse GlassFish, and additionally bringing Jakarta EE 10 compatibility to Piranha Cloud, which enables a wider range of users to take advantage of the Jakarta EE APIs.

David Matějček, OmniFish director and co-founder:

Some time ago I contacted Arjan and we started discussing the state of Jakarta EE, Eclipse GlassFish, and other projects. When Ondro joined us later, we decided to start our own company which would boost Eclipse GlassFish and Jakarta EE development to make it modern, useful, and supported for production systems.

OmniFish Aims At The Application Servers Market And Fast-Growing Cloud And Serverless Markets

OmniFish are the biggest contributor to the Jakarta EE 10 compatible Eclipse GlassFish 7 and a major contributor to the Jakarta EE 10 specifications. They are in a prime position to provide the best professional support for Eclipse GlassFish possible. It is estimated that the application servers market size will double by 2028, reaching USD 40.96 billion.  According to the OmniFaces survey, GlassFish is the 3rd most frequently used server, with a 22% share. Even though Eclipse GlassFish is open source and free to use, there’s a lot of potential for OmniFish to grow by providing support and services around it.

OmniFish also heavily contributes to the Piranha Cloud runtime, which aims to provide Jakarta EE functionality to build native cloud and serverless applications. As Piranha Cloud builds on the same components as Eclipse GlassFish, it provides a natural transition for Jakarta EE applications to cloud and serverless deployments. It is estimated that the cloud services market size will triple by 2030, reaching USD 1620 billion. OmniFish expects that this growth will result in increased interest in cloud-native runtimes like Piranha Cloud and will open opportunities for other OmniFish services and products based on it.

Ondro Mihályi, OmniFish director and co-founder:

We at OmniFish have put a lot of effort to turn the upcoming Eclipse GlassFish 7 into a modern and reliable application server so that our clients can use it and sleep peacefully. Meanwhile, we’re working on Piranha Cloud as a new generation cloud runtime, based on our experience with GlassFish and other Jakarta EE servers. We are 100% dedicated to making our partners and clients successful with Eclipse GlassFish and Piranha Cloud. We aim to provide a cost-efficient and reliable path to modernizing their Jakarta EE applications, should our clients choose on-premise deployments or uplift their applications to cloud.
