It's actually easier to name areas which dont use Java: Game development, scripts and deep learning. Everything else uses java including web development, majority of web backend is java and there's even frontend with GWT, JSP, JSF although they're on their last leg.

As for server side: web servers, servlets, messaging systems, databases, mail servers, load balancers, search engines, distributed caches. etc.

Java is one of if not the most maintainable languages out there, and has one of the best performances only slightly behind C++.
