Gravity Wiz vs WildFly: at a glance
What is Gravity Wiz?
Gravity Wiz previews Flowcrafter, a visual workflow canvas for Gravity Forms.
Gravity Wiz has been launching whole products: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, and Product Configurator 1.0 and Spam Hexer in June. On November 6 it opened early access to Flowcrafter Beta 1, a free plugin for building Gravity Forms processes on a visual canvas with steps, decisions, approval waits and a record of each run.
What is WildFly?
WildFly 42 brings virtual threads to Jakarta Concurrency.
WildFly is a Jakarta EE application server on a regular train of Beta, Final and patch releases. WildFly 42.0.0.Final (October 22) supports virtual threads in the Jakarta Concurrency 3.1 implementation, promotes idle time-based eviction for distributable sessions, SFSBs and timers to default stability, and adds automatic meter management for resources added at runtime. 41.0.1 in August was a security patch closing three IIOP CVEs.

Gravity Wiz
3.8DEVOPS
Gravity Wiz previews Flowcrafter, a visual workflow canvas for Gravity Forms.
◆ Current state
Gravity Wiz has been launching whole products: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, and Product Configurator 1.0 and Spam Hexer in June. On November 6 it opened early access to Flowcrafter Beta 1, a free plugin for building Gravity Forms processes on a visual canvas with steps, decisions, approval waits and a record of each run.
◆ Where it's heading
Each launch takes Gravity Forms further from data collection: bookings made it a scheduling tool, and Flowcrafter makes it a process engine where a submission starts multi-step work. The pattern is broad new surfaces, with beta and alpha releases before 1.0.
◆ Prediction
Expect further Flowcrafter betas adding steps and integrations with existing perks such as GP Bookings, before a 1.0 release.
WildFly
5.0DEVOPS
WildFly 42 brings virtual threads to Jakarta Concurrency.
◆ Current state
WildFly is a Jakarta EE application server on a regular train of Beta, Final and patch releases. WildFly 42.0.0.Final (October 22) supports virtual threads in the Jakarta Concurrency 3.1 implementation, promotes idle time-based eviction for distributable sessions, SFSBs and timers to default stability, and adds automatic meter management for resources added at runtime. 41.0.1 in August was a security patch closing three IIOP CVEs.
◆ Where it's heading
WildFly moves features through stability levels release by release; 42 promotes the eviction configuration that first arrived in 39. The bug list also shows continuing cleanup of XML parsing issues (CWE-611) and clustering edge cases.
◆ Prediction
Expect 42.0.1.Final next, consolidating fixes and component upgrades as 41.0.1 did.
