In this chapter, we saw how to deploy a Play application in production. While deploying it, we saw the different packaging options (such as rpm, deb, zip, windows, and so on) available by default. We also saw different configuration settings, such as the HTTP port, maximum size of the request header, and so on, which we can specify when starting the application in production. We also discussed how to send requests to the application using a reverse proxy.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how the Play plugins work, and how we can build custom Play plugins to meet different requirements.
