Container
Servlet Container
A servlet container is a software component that is used to run Java servlets and JavaServer Pages(JSP) in a web server environment. A servlet is a Java program that runs on a web server and dynamically generates content in a response to client requests, while JSP allows developers to embed Java code in HTML pages.
Container
A container is a lightweight, standalone, and executable package that contains everything needed to run an application, including code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings.
A container provides a consistent and isolated runtime environment for applications, making it easy to deploy and run applications across different environments, such as development, testing, and production.
Benefits:
Portability:?Containers can be deployed on any infrastructure that supports containerization, such as a developer's laptop, a testing environment, or a production server, without worrying about compatibility or dependencies.
Consistency:?Containers provide a consistent runtime environment for applications, ensuring that they behave the same way across different environments.
Scalability: Containers can be easily replicated and scaled up or down to meet changing demand, making it easy to handle traffic spikes and high availability requirements.
