I do use profiles in my Spring Boot application. In my application.properties I have this 3 entries: 

spring.profiles.active=prod
key1=demo. ...
key1=prod. ...

Currently I have to uncomment the line depending on whether it is a demo or a productive release. Is there a better way of doing this using profiles of Spring Boot?

Yes, you can create property files with postfix of your profile name and dump profile specific properties there.

For example,

in your application-prod.properties this one will go key1=prod. ... in your application-demo.properties this one will go key1=demo. ...

And while starting the server pass this java param -Dspring.profiles.active=<profilename> or set env variable SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=<profile_name>

This is how it can be achieved:

  1. Use a single application.properties and having values in following format:

    redis.host=${REDIS_HOST}
redis.port=${REDIS_PORT}

  2. Now use different .yml files for dev, staging and prod environments, where each file has values related to specific environment. For example, dev.yml, staging.yml, prod.yml:

    // dev.yml
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PORT=6379

// staging.yml
REDIS_HOST=staging-url
REDIS_PORT=6576

//prod.yml
REDIS_HOST=produrl
REDIS_PORT=5678

  3. Now, run the application with profile parameter being passed for different environments:

    -Dspring.profiles.active=dev
