    • TomEE is a small and fast server with decent Java EE 7 support (however it is not formally certified). TomEE is based on Tomcat and comes with comparable footprint. The fully loaded "plus" edition is only ~17 MB larger (download and disk size), than the stripped down webprofile download.

    Commercial support is available for TomEE directly from tomitribe -- the source.

    Another capable microservices runtime.

    This blog is running on TomEE without any issues for years.

    Tested with: Server Smoke. TomEE Dockerfile is also available from docklands.
