Spring Boot and Development Environment

Is Spring Boot used only for hosting the website on your local machine for development purposes? If you wanted to deploy this website publicly would you have to, for example, deploy the website on an Amazon EC2 instance? If you do the latter, can you still use Spring Boot as your dev environment?

Absolutely. There is nothing fundamentally different between running a Spring Boot app locally for development and running the same app on a public server other than packaging it up in a JAR. A Spring Boot app can be deployed publicly on services like AWS or Heroku.
