About:
Open Liberty is a lightweight, open-source Java runtime designed for building and running cloud-native microservices. This formula provides the Jakarta EE 8 compatible distribution, enabling developers to create enterprise-grade applications with fast startup times and low memory footprint. It supports modern development standards like MicroProfile and can run in any environment.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight runtime with fast startup times
  • Jakarta EE 8 and MicroProfile compatibility
  • Hot deploy capability for developer productivity
  • Zero-configuration with server.xml or annotation-based setup
Use Cases:
  • Developing and running cloud-native Java microservices
  • Building enterprise web applications with modern Jakarta EE standards
  • Rapid prototyping with instant reload capabilities
Alternatives:
  • payara – Payara is a full Jakarta EE application server, while Open Liberty is more lightweight and modular
  • tomcat – Tomcat is a servlet container only, lacking full Jakarta EE support
  • wildfly – WildFly is a heavier application server with broader EE features but slower startup
