Deploying Play-Scala application into production

I checked and searched multiple articles and posts, but nowhere complete information was available. In deploying section of official play-scala documentation, it only talks about how to package in different formats, sbt-native docs are also more focused on packaging. So, I learnt the packaging and ran the packages on a dedicated server, but came across a few tedious problem:

  1. The application was closing after a period, and was required to manually reload on the server.
  2. On every restart it was required to manually start the application server.
  3. Monitoring service health was also not easy, it was required to ssh the server and check the logs and server resource usage.

Simple and Lightweight Image Gallery and Content Slider for Angular by Ravinder Payal

Hi friends, today, we are going to develop a simple to use image gallery and content slider component using (and for) Angular with transitions and styling done using CSS. Some of us might be thinking that why re-invent the wheel when libraries like JSSOR, and plugins like JQUERY carousel are already available. So, we are re-creating it because:-

  1. There are no good native Angular 2( or 4 ) sliders available. Those available are too heavy, and have additional dependencies like JQUERY and Bootstrap, which makes our project pointlessly more heavy.
  2. No worries about licensing.
  3. To get a clear understanding of how slide shows and transitions work on web pages.
  4. Light weight solution, because the ready to use libraries have a lot of boiler plate code for making them work at all.
  5. To have complete control over code.
  6. Tell me if, I missed any other important point.
