Tomcat Primary Use Case

SrinivasPakala - PeerSpot reviewer
Director Consulting Expert at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees

My company uses Tomcat, which offers good features like servlet and JSP support. Tomcat is an open-source tool, and its community support is also good. Tomcat is a lightweight tool in nature, making it efficient in terms of memory and resource usage, allowing for optimized resource usage. Tomcat is a tool that can be embedded in other applications, allowing flexibility and deployment options. The security features of the tool are good. Tomcat offers good features in terms of cluster support, configuration, and maintenance.

Most microservices developed in Java are based on the Spring Boot framework, which ships Tomcast as the application server for each microservice.

Tomcat is not like a standalone application server because its main end use is to ship microservices. We don't use it like a standalone server nowadays.

I have used Tomcat as a developer. We have integrated multiple things with Tomcat using the multiple packages within it. I have used bits and pieces of Tomcat for multiple things in multiple ways. With Tomcat, libraries can be exported and imported, converting it into a JAF file. Tomcat can be used to explore things, starting with the server configuration.

We are using Tomcat and we are making the configuration with the help of Spring Boot only.

Tomcat is cloud-based, and all the microservices are developed in Spring Boot.

Tomcat is there in most vendor solutions, and people rarely agree to port it to JBoss. So, most business applications have it. Additionally, multiple banking solutions are using Tomcat. Also, the solution runs on Solaris, AIX, Windows, and Linux.

CEO International Business at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Tomcat allows me to deploy my Java app servers. I use it very heavily as a Java server, and it also doubles up as a web server. So my web and application server gets serviced out there. Then, I have my reverse proxy in front and put the Apache web server. So that feeds the request across to the Tomcat servers, and the Tomcat servers service it. In Tomcat, I can write the JSP code that services the pages and embed my jQuery code, which will then look up the database at the back end.

I can set it up in a completely horizontally scalable Kubernetes cluster and drive that through. My cluster manager allows me to load balance, providing massive scalability. I can deploy a thousand app servers concurrently and very easily. That is the power of Comcast.
