Deploying multiple applications on an application server(weblogic/websphere)

When multiple applications are deployed to an application server, do they all share the same JVM?

If not, is each application targeted to a different JVM?

If yes, then will it not become a performance issue - ex: multiple applications using same heap space which means more frequent garbage collection etc?

Is it not a good idea to deploy these applications as self contained Sprinboot with tomcat?

I know we have an option of using different domains to have separate JVM’s for each application - but still having many application servers up and running could also consume more resources?

Talking for weblogic server, all deployed applications share same JVM. Frequency of garbage collection is related with Min/Max Heap sizes that you set. Setting the minimum heap size (-Xms) smaller or the maximum heap size (-Xmx) larger affects how often garbage collection will occur and determines the approximate amount of live data an application can have.
