The deployment process of Java applications typically involves several key stages:
-
Building the project using tools like Maven or Gradle to compile the code and prepare artifacts (such as WAR or JAR files).
-
Configuring the environment on the server: installing Java Runtime Environment, setting environment variables, configuring databases and other services.
-
Deploying the artifact to an application server (Tomcat, WildFly, Jetty, etc.) or to the cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP).
-
Configuring application parameters via properties files or environment variables.
-
Monitoring and logging to track the application's status after launch.
For example, at my previous job, I built the project using Maven, deployed the WAR file on Tomcat, configured database connections through context.xml, and used Jenkins for automation of build and deployment.
