在 spring-cloud 项目中，可以完全用 bootstrap.yml 替换 application.yml 吗？

Question

In spring-cloud projects, for some reason, need to put some properties into bootstrap.yml , so that to make the specific properties available earlier.

Then there are 2 config files: bootstrap.yml and application.yml .

Wondering is it ok to put everying into bootstrap.yml , and remove application.yml totally, to make it cleaner.

Since bootstramp.yml is just loaded earlier, it seems to be ok, right? Or, will this cause some issue in some case?

Answer 1

Basically idea is to get configurations from ConfigServer using Spring Cloud Config. But sometimes we need some configurations eg spring.application.name upfront so, I'm using those configurations in bootstrap.yml . Which generally overrides what's in an application.yml [if present]). Reference

Plus, yes you can put all your configurations in bootstrap.yml and it works simply fine. I've tested with more than four microservices.
