When it comes to Java web servers, Apache Tomcat remains a strong favorite. Some of these instances have been containerized over the years, but many still run in the traditional setup of a Linux -based virtual machine or even on bare metal. Red Hat JBoss Web Server (JWS) combines the servlet engine (Apache Tomcat) with the web server (Apache HTTPD), and modules for load balancing (mod_jk and mod_cluster).

Scaling Sidekiq is challenging when paired with Redis. The hurdle arises from the complexity of Redis' horizontal scaling model: Redis is mostly single-threaded, unable to fully utilize modern multi-core servers. On the other hand, it is discouraged to use Redis Cluster for Sidekiq, as detailed here. This dilemma often leads to throughput bottlenecks when using Sidekiq with Redis.
