Internet Information Services

Nice Pick

Developers should learn IIS when deploying web applications on Windows-based environments, especially for enterprise solutions using ASP

Pros

  • +NET,
  • +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 Internet Information Services if: You want net, 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 Internet Information Services offers.

🧊
The Bottom Line
Internet Information Services wins

Developers should learn IIS when deploying web applications on Windows-based environments, especially for enterprise solutions using ASP
