## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, web-framework, middleware, auth, configuration-management, deployment, monitoring
- domain: backend, web-development, developer-tools, cloud-computing
- platform: jvm, windows, cloud, self-hosted
