Overall Satisfaction with Apache Tomcat
Usage of Apache Tomcat was chosen because we wanted to use WebSockets and no others implemented. So Tomcat was a forced-choice but we finished loving it. we did a very pioneering project injecting TIBCO Rendezvous inside tomcat so from web users have two-way communications with the backend!
- Loading shared libraries.
- Speed
- Very lightweight and scalable.
- Stability and debugging.
- A better IDE for local test.
- Logging in, not very clear at the beginning.
- Integration
- Scalability
- Authentication
- Open source.
- Very very very stable. It never crashes in our 24/7 factory. since 2015.
- Scalability like newest stuff.
We work with Java, and we needed to integrate Tibco RV which had a Java library. Node was not so easy to manage in the backend and we opted for something more known. As said we still love Tomcat and we heard a lot of bad experiences with NodeJS, quite tricky and slow to learn. We needed the work done fast and robust.
