Spring Cloud Configuration Server Using Database — JDBC Mode

As part of the Spring Cloud ecosystem, you can have access to centralized configuration management for distributed systems. It makes it simpler to manage and update configurations across numerous instances or microservices by enabling you to externalize your application configuration in a centralized location. To utilize this feature there are different approaches that you can take.

There are 3 different storing methods, you can use a Database, Files, and git repository to maintain the configurations. In this article, we will focus on using the JDBC method and using the database to store our configurations.

Since we are using JDBC it really does not matter which Database Technology you are using as long as you can find the proper JDBC Driver for it.

A Spring Cloud Configuration server can be started very simply; all you have to do is add the required dependency and use the @EnableConfigServer annotation to enable the server. We also use spring data to access the Database and read the properties.
