  • Another Switch from Websphere to Jetty

    Johannes Brodwall is kind enough to highlight his commercial experience in switching to Jetty. His only regret?… not doing it sooner. Link to his experience

    Please drop us a note if we can help you with advice, support, or custom development to go down this path with the experts backing you.

  • Webtide Scaling Highlighted on InfoQ

    Based on Greg’s earlier benchmarking on Amazon EC2 nodes. Good stuff! It is great to demonstrate that open approaches can yield the best performance.

  • Jetty and Webtide at Zimbra / Yahoo

    A great endorsement of the performance of Jetty for Ajax apps. (and of course, for the help Webtide can provide).

    Application Development Trends article link

    Zimbra’s blog entry on the subject.

    Zimbra serves millions of users, and we’re proud to work with them. Webtide’s services and support help many companies scale their apps rapidly and economically. Drop us a line if you’re interested to discuss.

  • Jetty Use: Volkswagen

    As with OpenNMS in my previous post, I always like to highlight great uses of Jetty out there. In this case, with the automated voice service of VW Financial Services. ITPro.co.uk Link

    The article reports running Jetty with speech synthesis, Oracle, and SAP. Have at it!

  • Embed Jetty: The OpenNMS Experience

    Always glad to highlight examples from among the hundreds of thousands of Jetty users. Here is one from OpenNMS, the systems management platform. OpenNMS summary link which yielded benefits as they say:

    “-caching of objects is shared between the backend and the web interface
    -Tomcat no longer needs to be configured
    -a single JVM
    -considerably less memory usage”

    Great stuff!

  • AjaxWorld

    It was great to meet everyone who came by Webtide’s booth, and our session our scaling Ajax and Comet without Breaking the Bank. We were interviewed for Sys-con.TV, which should be up shortly (watch this space for a link). We were really the only ones with benchmarks on display. Hopefully there will be more in the future! As was the main theme of this conference, Ajax and Comet are mainstream now and in wide deployment. The variety of frameworks and servers need to be put to the test to see how they work in the real world. Jetty is ready.

    Our next show will be the Open Source Summit in Hong Kong November 28-30. Hope to see you there!

  • Adam Lieber to Speak at AjaxWorld

    I’ll be talking about the common gotchas people run across when preparing Ajax and Comet applications for deployment. We have techniques and services to make sure your application is responsive and doesn’t break the bank. Look forward to seeing you there! www.ajaxworld.com, or drop us a line if you need help with registration.
