How to connect Tomcat to work with Spring Boot application for backend?

Question

MySQL

Good day,
can you briefly tell how to set up a trace configuration on a local Windows machine to develop a Backend RESTfull application.
A Java RESTful application must interact with the MySQL server, receive data from it (add data if necessary) and send it as a JSON string to the outside via the Tomcat server. The question is how to organize all this on a local machine and how to deploy to a VPS?
Thanks in advance,
Vadim
