Spring Initializr builds JARs by default, but we can change it to produce WARs instead, if we need to deploy the application in an application server, for example, an external Tomcat server, however, we don't recommend it.
If we go back to our microservices' principles, we should remember that we need to provide a loosely coupled microservice, so if we deploy it in an application server we are coupling our application to it. If tomorrow that server changes, it will affect us.
Spring Boot provides a fully working Tomcat server that starts in seconds and is fully configured for our needs. This allows that everything that is required for our application is under the application control.
