This question is similar to (but different in the aim): Shared Config(at git) between SPring Boot Services so I will make use of the example the OP wrote there.
In my case I am using Spring Cloud Config Server with the Vault as backend, but for the sake of argument I will describe it as if it were in git. So imagine I have 4 Services: A, B, C and D
.
And I have the following configs:
- A-prod.properties
- A-dev.properties
- B-prod.properties
- B-dev.properties
- C-prod.properties
- C-dev.properties
- D-prod.properties
- D-dev.properties
- application-prod.properties
- application-dev.properties
Now according to the docs I will have one of the services, let's say Service C
getting his properties from C-(ENV).properties
as well as application-(ENV).properties
. Similarly the same with the others, i.e. everyone gets their own file and everything on application.properties
.
My question is:
Is it possible to have for example a "semi-global" shared properties, e.g. a file that A and C
share some config and another that B and D
share some config?
An usage example would be DB Connection Credentials, where two services make use of one set of credentials, and the others another one.
I have been trying to find infos about this and doing some tests, but nothing that got me anywhere...
