spring - application.yaml

[mamaorha]

it seems like the application.yaml under resources is ignored when deploying (it does work when running local).

I'm facing the same problem. Any documentation on how to configure spring or define some env variables would be very helpful

[mamaorha]

i ended up using env variables via the gradle config and adjust them on runtime due to the fact the teraform wasnt able to parse complex env names.

part i added to build gradle:

kotless {
    webapp {
        lambda {
            environment = hashMapOf(
                "MYSQL_PASS" to "MY_VALUE"
            )
        }
    }
}

later on my main class i reassigned them via:

@SpringBootApplication
open class Application : Kotless() {
    init {
        System.setProperty("spring.datasource.password", System.getenv()["MYSQL_PASS"])
    }

    override val bootKlass: KClass<*> = this::class
}

small note that secrets should not be under the "gradle" file as you probably want to push the file to your git.
instead you can & should use some secret manager like aws have to offer.
