Free open source high-availability solution for Java web application using Tomcat and Mysql
With the growth of the internet, the number of web applications is also growing. Many web applications are becoming more and more important to the stakeholders that they cannot afford downtime. The web application downtime can cause loss of revenue, loss of productivity, tarnished reputation, etc. In the past, only big organizations with deep pocket could afford building high-availability for their web application. However, nowadays there are free open-source software programs that support high- availability feature available to everyone. This research was motivated to study the feasibility of implementing high-availability for java web application system without using commercial software, hence making it more affordable. This research compared the capability of proprietary and free open-source high-availability solution for java web application based on a simple high-availability design. A test java web application was deployed into the environment based on proprietary and free open- source solutions. It was tested how well each solution perform when problem occurs. The result showed that the free open-source high-availability solution worked, but not as well as proprietary one. However, the proprietary high-availability solution for database did not perform well. Neither did the open-source one. This researchconcludes that the free open-source high-availability solution works and thus made high-availability become much more affordable, especially for individual or small organizations with budget constraints.
