Payara’s name goes back to our founding story! We looked up “Glassfish” and found it was a small, Indian fish common in tropical tanks. We wanted to demonstrate how in Payara Platform, GlassFish is emerging as more potent and more robust. So we looked for a fish to represent this, and the awesome Payara fish – a predatory fish found in tropical South America – fits the bill perfectly!
