I would like to know the main differences between Glassfish, Jboss and Apache Tomcat application servers. Is there any specific aspect I should check before choosing one to start development? Are there significant differences in performance and safety between them? The main difference I found during a search was that Apache Tomcat is not an EJB server...

Jboss(now Wildfly) and Glassfish are Oracle-approved application servers to support JEE(Java Enterprise Edition).
Tomcat is a Servlet container and partially supports the JEE specifications in the case of Servlet, JDBC, JNDI and others.
Which one should I choose?
If the entire project is JEE-based and uses specifications that Tomcat does not support natively, such as CDI JTA, EJB, JMS it is best to use Wildfly or Glassfish.
There are these questions you can also look at:
Great answer, is there more details that can be added? Many opt for Wildfly for the same possess these specifications that were cited, but I realized that the time later for the project after changing something can be time consuming, with Tomcat did not notice this delay and seems to be lighter even. + 1

Jboss (application server only) did not change its name and became Wildfly?
