Running Akka Application on a Server/Container - akka

Question

I am new to Akka Framework and I am doing a POC on it.
Using Akka Http, I am trying to resolve a Http Request and return a response. But my query is how could we run this Akka application in a server environment. All the examples I could see is as look below.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ActorSystem system = ActorSystem.create("userServer");
ActorRef userActor = system.actorOf(UserActor.props(), "userActor");
UserServer server = new UserServer(userActor);
server.startServer("localhost", 8080, system);
}
As per my understanding, this is we are running the application from a standalone file. But in an enterprise version we always intended to run an application through a Server.
So How possibly we could run the Akka application through server?

It’s not clear what you mean by “through server”. Do you mean a JEE server? There’s no need or benefit of doing anything like that.
Running in a production server or container typically just involves running from a command line the same way you are doing now. There are tools in both maven and sbt (and others) to help you with the details of packaging and containerizing.
