I’m a newcomer to the DevOps movement. I only started paying attention when I joined ZeroTurnaround and the LiveRebel development team.
Initially, all I heard about and focused on were the tools and the technology that would allow me to ‘implement DevOps’ and ‘become more productive’. At hindsight, this is exactly the opposite of what I was supposed to do. Local optimums (ie. individually enhanced islands) are the enemy of DevOps as they will most certainly interrupt the global flow of the organization. Adopting Vagrant or Chef are details that are very specific to individual organizations, maybe the best tool for your teams is a whiteboard with post-it notes or maybe it is a fluffy pink llama doll.
When I was at DevOps Days Austin two weeks ago, I wondered why so many of the talks hammered on about the cultural aspect of DevOps, but it was only after reading The Phoenix Project and The Goal that I realized why culture is so important.

This blog post continues the Great Application Server Debate series, in which we have already covered IBM Liberty Profile as well as Jetty. Today we’re talking about (arguably the most popular application server) Tomcat and also touching on TomEE. As with previous posts, we will be reviewing the application server purely from a developers point of view.
Apache Tomcat is an open source application server that (in version 7.0) implements the Servlet 3.0 and JavaServer Pages 2.2 specifications, and includes many additional features that make it a useful platform for developing and deploying web applications and web services.

This is the first blog post of a series in which we test-drive application servers from a developer’s perspective, giving our opinion on how they perform through our developer-oriented tests. This is more of a ‘how it did’ than a ‘how-to’. We start our series with a new offering from IBM, the Liberty Profile.
The Liberty Profile is both part of the full IBM WebSphere Application Server image and a standalone download. It’s an Application Server that targets developers needs in an environment where the full WebSphere product is not ideal or appropriate. It was first available in WebSphere Application Server v8.5, released in 2012.
