How have you deployed or launched your application on server infrastructure?

The following steps are usually used to launch and deploy a Java application on server infrastructure:

1. Build the application — create an executable JAR or WAR file using build tools (Maven, Gradle).
2. Prepare the server — install JVM, configure environment, necessary libraries, and environment variables.
3. Deployment:
   • For web applications — copy the WAR file to the deployment directory of the application server (Tomcat, WildFly).
   • For standalone applications — run the JAR file using java -jar app.jar.
4. Automation — use CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitLab CI) for automatic build and deployment.
5. Monitoring and logging — set up monitoring systems (Prometheus, Grafana) and logging (ELK stack).

Example of launching a standalone application:

java -jar myapp.jar --server.port=8080

Containerization often uses Docker, which simplifies portability and scaling of the application.
