title: What are best practices regarding the deployment of Play code from a git repo to production?
body: <p>Back in the days we use to deploy java code in a webserver like Tomcat or Jboss as an EAR or War file. What are best practices regarding the deployment of Play code?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Discussion</strong></p>
  
  <p>One option is to deploy the code using git and subsequently issue <code>play start</code>. If have checked <a href="https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.5.x/Deploying" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> documentation, but it is not clear to me how a full street looks like from the code in a git repository to running it in production.</p>
  
  <p>Code in repository > create jar > publish to maven > deploy on server > how to run it? <code>play start</code>?</p>
