Which basically means, you can do different things at different times, instead of doing it all with each request. As Stefan points out in the video above, with Appserver, you don’t have to run any bootstrapping scripts with each request. You can store such things (and many others) as a servlet, which start running at server startup and stays in memory until the server is stopped or restarted. It is sort of akin to the Tomcat web server for Java, from what I can tell.
