Lift

Lift apps are normally packaged up and then served by a web application container.

Testing

Both Maven and sbt can launch an included Jetty server to run your Lift app. Their targets are jetty:run and jetty-run, respectively.

Production

Both Maven and sbt have package targets that will create WAR packages which you can then have your container server. The Nginx web server proxying a Jetty container serving the Lift app is a popular configuration among many Lift users, but all standard tools will work.

Note: You will probably also want to make sure you set your run-mode to ‘production’.
