Chapter 10. Production Deployment
Deploying a Lift application to production means little more than packaging it and ensuring you set the run mode to production. The recipes in this chapter show how to do this for various hosted services.
You can also install and run a container such as Tomcat or Jetty on your own servers. Containers were introduced in Running your application. This brings with it the need to understand how to install, configure, start, stop, and manage each container, and how to integrate it with load balancers or other frontends.

- Jason Brittain and Ian F. Darwin, Tomcat: The Definitive Guide, O’Reilly Media, Inc.
- Tanuj Khare, Apache Tomcat 7 Essentials, Packt Publishing.
