I am looking to see what is the best approach to buid and deploy my angular 2 web application?

I finally need to serve it as a web bundle resource to my dropwizard application.

  1. I am trying to understand if I should retain ng build and use that to generate my dist folder or should I override that with webpack and carry out whatever is specified in https://angular.io/guide/webpack .

  2. Does ng build internally call webpack? if yes, is there any benefit in setting up my own webpack-config file and setting it up as discussed in https://angular.io/guide/webpack .

angular-cli angular webpack

Webpack and ng-build do pretty much the same job, which is bundling your modules to be used in a browser environment For example, the Angular module is a feature, which doesn't support in the browser, and ES 6 modules are not implemented in any browser yet, which is why things need to be bundled.
