DevProd Report Revisited – Application Servers play musical chairs in 2013
The world of app servers has traditionally been split between servlet-based containers and enterprise (Java EE) servers, with Tomcat being the clear winner in the servlet-based container space and WebSphere and Weblogic sharing the Java EE mantle. Typically servlet-based containers are used significantly more than Java EE servers, almost 60% of the respondents to our survey use at least one servlet-based container.

LiveRebel 101: Prepare for Continuous Delivery
