Hello Geoserver User,

We are planning to use GeoServer for Production in AWS.
What is the best and stable to use with Tomcat or Docker the best?

Bayu:

The two technologies are different:

  • Tomcat is an application server responsible for handling the web service (http protocol). It hosts GeoServer which is responsible for the various OGC web serivces protocols (WFS, WMS, WMTS,…). You can of course choose a different application server (Tomcat is much beloved, but I understand Jetty prioritizes speed)
  • Docker offers a container which would use to isolate your application server (Tomcat or Jetty) from the operating system

You can see the documentation for guidance on what versions of Java and Tomcat are recommended.

Thanks Jody,

Right now I’m using AWS with Tomcat, and plan to make Horizontal Scaling for that server
