# Deploying Using Servlet Container

Deploying a Vaadin application to traditional servlet containers, such as Tomcat, Jetty or any Java/Jakarta EE server, isn’t very different from other web applications. You need to ensure that the production profile is used in your build to achieve optimal performance.

Follow the official documentation of your Servlet container for the best practices in production deployment.
