Reliable, open-source, and has good documentation but the high availability is not robust

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case of this solution is for application services and web services.

Pros and Cons

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it supports Java Enterprise."

"The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss."

What other advice do I have?

Apache Tomcat is the application server, but the enterprise server that runs in it is Apache ServiceMix. For anyone who is interested in using this solution, I would suggest knowing your use case, and knowing it very well. If you can make it containerized, it's better, so that it can scale better. But, again, know your use case. Because I have not used other hardware, there is nothing to compare with and it is hard to rate. In terms of my usage, I am happy with it. I would rate Apache Tomcat a seven out of ten.
