title: Using multiple websphere liberty profile servers instead of a single websphere 8?
body: <p>In following my previous question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32431594/bluemix-push-application-with-server-xml-vs-whole-liberty-server-is-there-perf">Bluemix, push application with server.xml vs whole Liberty Server, is there performance difference?</a> I'd thought is it possible to replace single <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/1106_alcott/1106_alcott.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Websphere Application Server 8</a> with multiple applications, by multiple <a href="https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/websphere-liberty/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Websphere Liberty Profile server 8.5</a>, where every Websphere Liberty Profile Server will host a single application.</p>
  
  <p>I'm concerned regarding this statement <a href="https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/websphere-liberty/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>yet ready for production</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But from other side I understand that <a href="https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/#starters/liberty/index.html#liberty" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bluemix</a> already use it in production.</p>
  
  <p>So, my questions are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Can I use Websphere Liberty Profile in production environment?</li>
  <li>Is there any performance decrease when multiple Websphere Liberty Profile servers running on a single machine with <a href="http://nginx.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Nginx</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_HTTP_Server" rel="nofollow noreferrer">IBM HTTP server</a> as a forward proxy?</li>
