In principle, yes.

But I recommend to not have running servers/services in the saved image, but instead to save (better auto build) a new clean image with nothing open (close all windows), nothing running, just your code. And then use a startup script.

Either use a run.st file which does all the work, or a class side 'MyStart startForProduction'.

Please read the book chapter.
