Is there any difference between embeddedServer and DevelopmentEngine, other than how they're configured and started?

DevelopmentEngine is just a main you don’t have to provide since it is included, that already loads hocon and stuff.
Other than that, it is a plain server using an ApplicationEngine

So it's not really more "development" than embeddedServer. Got it.

According to https://ktor.io/servers/deploy.html#fat-jar, either of these would be the recommended solution for running a production instance of ktor in a container? The Development bit may be misleading.

Yeah, agree, it might sound a bit misleading

More than a bit misleading, consider this a bug report 🙂

I would create an issue here: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues

Ideally proposing a better name too 🙂
