Deploy Akka HTTP to Azure

Question

I was looking for some information on how to deploy the Akka Http app for Azure. Azure supports Java Web Apps, but I assume that it only works for applications running on TomCat or similar. But Akka Http is a standalone application - is there any support for this and anyway, how should I continue?

I know about sbt-native-packager, which can create various installable formats, but, seeing how easy it is to deploy a .NET application from Visual Studio, I would like to see an easier way for Java.

Answer 1

Based on my understanding, your application using Akka Http is a separate jar file that needs to be deployed to Azure WebApps. Please refer to the Application configuration Examples section of the official Upload a custom Java web app to Azure guide to create a web.xml in the wwwroot path to deploy your application like these Jetty or Springboot samples.
