Overview

The Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) is an open-source platform for highly transactional, web-scale applications. This technology can modernize your traditional Java EE applications.

JBoss EAP includes everything needed to build, deploy, run and manage enterprise Java applications. JBoss EAP’s security subsystem provides a unified framework to manage and configure access for standalone servers and managed domains. It includes a management console and a command line interface that provides administrators with a unified view.

Red Hat supports deploying JBoss EAP on-premises, on hyperscalers, and on OpenShift. It can be deployed on several operating systems including Linux, Unix, OS X, and Windows.

It is natural to compare Tomcat to JBoss. The key difference is Tomcat if a servlet container and web server and JBoss is an application server.
