About

Apache Tomcat, an open-source software project originating from the United States and first released in 1999, is a widely adopted implementation of the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. It serves as a robust, lightweight web server and servlet container, powering numerous large-scale, mission-critical web applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations globally. As a free and open-source offering, it does not generate direct revenue or have a traditional corporate leadership structure with a CEO or employee count, instead relying on a community of contributors for its development and maintenance. Its core product portfolio is centered around providing a stable and efficient environment for Java-based web development, supporting platforms like Mac, Windows, and Linux. Apache Tomcat holds a strong market position in the application server space, competing with alternatives such as Jetty, NGINX Unit, and Payara.
