Hands-On Microservices with Kotlin

Executing with profiles

If we run our application as usual with the following command:

java -jar target/chapter2-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

hi Kotlin

Since the default profile is developing the variable for service.message.simple get the value for that profile that is hi.

If we like to run the application with a different profile, we can just run it like this:

java -jar target/chapter2-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar --spring.profiles.active="production"

When we navigate back to http://localhost:8080/user/Kotlin, we should see the following:

welcome Kotlin
