As promised earlier, we provide statistics on web application servers for Java. Statistics show the current server utilization in the Jelastic cloud-based Java Hosting platform . The statistical sample involved more than 2,000 environments. In fairness, it is worth noting that GlassFish and Jetty servers were added later. This fact affects the final statistics. However, we must show the current state in order to analyze the changes next month.
Distribution of servers in the regions of North America and Europe.
Summary table
It is also interesting to analyze the use of different versions of Java. Given the fact that Java 7 support was added later, current statistics show a relatively high percentage of Java 7
usage. Java 6 and 7 usage by region
Summary table
In the following monthly statistical reports, we will display the delta of change for the month.
If you have suggestions for improving statistics, we will be glad to hear your wishes. Also, soon Jetty 7 support will be added. And maybe we will provide statistics on memory usage by different applications.
