WildFly is an open-source, modular, lightweight Jakarta EE and MicroProfile application server for running enterprise Java applications. It offers fast startup, unified management via CLI, web console, and REST APIs, plus cloud-native tooling like bootable JARs and Kubernetes/OpenShift images.

Use cases

• run Jakarta EE web applications on a managed Java server
• host MicroProfile REST microservices
• deploy enterprise Java apps to Kubernetes or OpenShift
• package a Java app as a bootable JAR
• manage multiple Java server instances from a CLI or web console
• secure Java apps with OIDC authentication

When to choose

• you need a full Jakarta EE / MicroProfile runtime with unified management
• you want a modular, lightweight Java application server with fast startup
• you deploy Java apps to containers or Kubernetes and want official images and Helm charts
• you need enterprise features like transactions, messaging, and security realms out of the box

When to avoid

• you build lightweight Spring Boot or Quarkus-style single-jar services and don't need a full EE server
• you want a simple embedded servlet container like Tomcat or Jetty
• your stack is not JVM-based
