    Django is really well suited for backend heavy work where logic is key and you want a solid foundation that can scale well. If you are comfortable with python and work with a lot of different third parties, it is an extremely easy decision to make. But for a quick prototype or front end heavy work or where the system has low resources, there are different frameworks available.

    JBoss EAP is subscription based/open source platform. It's very reliable and great for deploying high transaction Java based enterprise applications. It integrates well with third party components like mod_cluster and supports popular Java EE web-based frameworks such as Spring, Angular JS, jQuery Mobile, and Google Web Toolkit.

    • MOD_CLUSTER integration. JBoss EAP integrates pretty well with mod_cluster. This is an intelligent load balancer especially useful in highly clustered environments.
    • Supports enterprise-grade features such as high availability clustering, distributed caching, messaging etc.
    • Supports deployment in on-premise, virtual and hybrid cloud environments.

    • Integration with deployment tools requires CLI knowledge

    We are planning to migrate away from Jboss to Tomcat as Jboss has shown not interest in supporting OSGi which is heavily used at our shop

    Usability

    It is a bit harder than the other frameworks for new users and so for that reason some may find it harder to use than others. The Django admin is great but the UI is a bit dated and some functionality need explicit plumbing. Like how to handle related records within the admin panel.

    JBoss overall is easy to use. The installation and deployment of applications are quick. Documentations and support are also readily available.

    JBoss EAP is lightweight and doesn't really consumes much physical resources. It's high performing and suites well for high transaction Java enterprise applications. The out of box performance settings are not really great and you will have to configure the settings to suite your environment to leverage it's full benefits.

    Alternatives Considered
    Open Source
    I was unable to add Ruby on Rails, FastAPI which were also alternatives. The product was complicated and needed to be stable to high load. Django is battle tested and very stable and actively managed. The other python were relatively newer at the time. PHP and ruby were not the best language choices and so the choice of python drove down the actual alternatives to only a handful with Django being the most reliable, widely used among them

    We selected JBoss because of compatibility with EJB's. We currently are trying to reduce our footprint and will highly consider using Tomcat.

    • Jboss EAP is easy to deploy and configure. This lead to lower cost and faster delivery.
    • Even though we have large number of machines running JBoss, we have only two Jboss Administrators. It doesn't requires too much administration and maintenance on daily basis and reduces number of administrators required for large implementations.
