Very slow Spring Boot application startup

Question

I have a simple Spring Boot application that connects to a PostgreSQL database and serves as a JSON service. Somehow the startup has become very slow, see timings 10:37:10 a

Answer 1

I used the following piece of code

spring:
    jpa:
        database-platform: org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
        show-sql: false
        generate-ddl: true
        **hibernate:
            ddl-auto: none
        properties:
            hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto: none**
