• the root of the client project should contain a config file named config.yaml This file should be a valid YAML file containing at least an application.name plus any values that need to be externalised an under the control of infrastructure, for example:

application:
  name: myproj     
database:
  connectionString: jdbc:postgresql://hostname:5432/dbname
