my site is running on linode. I have got 380+ MB RAM. I need to run the web server + Solr + Postgres + memcached on the same space.

Which is best Jetty or Tomcat? It is simple, plain search server. We use Pylons for development.

  • I refered http://stackoverflow.com/questions/302977/tomcat-vs-jetty. I don't understand low maintenance cost. Is it takes less time to configure? I need small foot print for the search server – Krish Apr 07 '09 at 18:34
  • +1 on the question, just because i found out i can can more for my money by switching to linode from rapidvps! – Don Branson Sep 23 '09 at 16:25
  • Can you comment on how the present status is on Jetty vs Tomcat? I am also planning a 512 MB slice for Solr. – Jesvin Jose Sep 16 '11 at 09:51

Jetty can be set up to load only the features you need. For example you can turn off session support.

I think Jetty is better in general case either, see Jetty vs Tomcat comparison.

I have used both, and found that Jetty was a heck of a lot easier to set up on CentOS. However, I have one server running with Tomcat, and it's been rock solid (on a 512MB Linode).

I've seen a tiny bit of performance improvement on Jetty for a high-volume search server, but it's nothing that would make me choose it over Tomcat for performance reasons alone...
