Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Envoy and Apache Tomcat?

Envoy is a web server (Cloud-native edge and service proxy), while Apache Tomcat is a web server (Java servlet container and web server). Both are Server technologies, so they are often considered alternatives.

Can a website use both Envoy and Apache Tomcat?

Yes. Tech Stack Detector detects each technology independently when you scan a site, so a single page can report both Envoy and Apache Tomcat when both are present.
