How Escalante is compared to Jetty in runtime memory usage?

Question

I'm looking for container for my Lift web application, deployed on OpenShift and I found Escalante. On Escalante site it's said, that Escalante "optimises the size of the deployment and the memory consumption at runtime". How it's compared to Jetty in memory usage ?

Answer 1

this is the Escalante lead. We still have not compared with other containers such as Jetty. That statement was based on comparisons I did with the base JBoss Application Server container, deploying a standard Lift war versus deploying a Lift war the Escalante way, with a minimal war. The latter was more memory efficient. We will do comparisons with Jetty as we near functionality completion, but we're not at that stage yet.
