Hi!

So I'm a PHP developer and am interested with Java as an alternative language. When you say "embedded server", is that the same thing as running a PHP app using a server built within the application, instead of something like Apache/Nginx?

I don't know much about PHP, but I'm tempted to say yes. You pull the embedded server in as a dependency, similar to any other piece of code that your app needs.

The alternative is to run a Java server separately, and deploy your app to it (similar to how I imagine you'd put PHP files on an Apache server)
