WildFly vs Apache TomEE

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 meets developers should use apache tomee when building enterprise java applications that require java ee/jakarta ee standards compliance without the overhead of heavier servers like jboss or websphere. Here's our take.

🧊Nice Pick

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

WildFly

Nice Pick

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

Apache TomEE

Developers should use Apache TomEE when building enterprise Java applications that require Java EE/Jakarta EE standards compliance without the overhead of heavier servers like JBoss or WebSphere

Pros

  • +It is ideal for microservices, web applications, and RESTful APIs where a lightweight, Tomcat-based environment with full enterprise support is needed
  • +Related to: apache-tomcat, jakarta-ee

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use WildFly if: You want 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 and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Apache TomEE if: You prioritize it is ideal for microservices, web applications, and restful apis where a lightweight, tomcat-based environment with full enterprise support is needed over what WildFly offers.

🧊
The Bottom Line
WildFly wins

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
