IIS vs Tomcat
Developers should learn IIS when building or deploying web applications on Windows-based environments, especially for enterprise solutions, intranet sites, or services requiring tight integration with Microsoft technologies like meets developers should learn and use tomcat when building and deploying java web applications, particularly those based on servlets and jsps, as it offers a robust, standards-compliant environment with minimal overhead compared to full java ee application servers. Here's our take.

IIS
Nice PickDevelopers should learn IIS when building or deploying web applications on Windows-based environments, especially for enterprise solutions, intranet sites, or services requiring tight integration with Microsoft technologies like
Pros
- +NET, SQL Server, or Active Directory
- +Related to: asp-net, windows-server
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Tomcat
Developers should learn and use Tomcat when building and deploying Java web applications, particularly those based on servlets and JSPs, as it offers a robust, standards-compliant environment with minimal overhead compared to full Java EE application servers
Pros
- +It is ideal for production environments requiring high performance, scalability, and ease of configuration, such as in microservices architectures or standalone web services
- +Related to: java-servlets, java-server-pages
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use IIS if: You want net, sql server, or active directory and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Tomcat if: You prioritize it is ideal for production environments requiring high performance, scalability, and ease of configuration, such as in microservices architectures or standalone web services over what IIS offers.
