GlassFish vs WildFly
Developers should learn GlassFish when building enterprise Java applications that require full Java EE/Jakarta EE compliance, such as large-scale web services, e-commerce systems, or corporate software meets developers should learn and use wildfly when building and deploying enterprise java applications that require a robust, standards-compliant server with features like clustering, high availability, and transaction management. Here's our take.
GlassFish
Developers should learn GlassFish when building enterprise Java applications that require full Java EE/Jakarta EE compliance, such as large-scale web services, e-commerce systems, or corporate software
GlassFish
Nice PickDevelopers should learn GlassFish when building enterprise Java applications that require full Java EE/Jakarta EE compliance, such as large-scale web services, e-commerce systems, or corporate software
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for testing and development due to its role as a reference implementation, ensuring adherence to standards
- +Related to: java-ee, jakarta-ee
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
WildFly
Developers should learn and use WildFly when building and deploying enterprise Java applications that require a robust, standards-compliant server with features like clustering, high availability, and transaction management
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for projects leveraging Jakarta EE technologies such as CDI, JPA, and JAX-RS, and is ideal for scenarios where modularity and performance are critical, such as in microservices architectures or large-scale enterprise systems
- +Related to: jakarta-ee, java-enterprise-edition
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use GlassFish if: You want it is particularly useful for testing and development due to its role as a reference implementation, ensuring adherence to standards and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use WildFly if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for projects leveraging jakarta ee technologies such as cdi, jpa, and jax-rs, and is ideal for scenarios where modularity and performance are critical, such as in microservices architectures or large-scale enterprise systems over what GlassFish offers.
