How do you properly set different Spring profiles in bootstrap file (for Spring Boot to target different Cloud Config Servers)?

Question

We have different config servers per environment. Each spring boot application should target its corresponding config server. I have tried to achieve this by setting profil

Answer 1

Specifying different profiles in a single file is only support for YAML files and doesn't apply to property files. For property files specify an environment specific bootstrap-[profile].properties to override properties from the default bootstrap.properties.

So in your case you would get 4 files bootstrap.properties, bootstrap-prod.properties, bootstrap-stage.properties and bootstrap-dev.properties.

However instead of that you could also only provide the default bootstrap.properties and when starting the application override the property by passing a -Dspring.cloud.config.uri= to your application.

java -jar .jar -Dspring.cloud.config.uri=

This will take precedence over the default configured values.
