Spring Cloud Config Server

This library is an extension to Spring Cloud Config, which uses Redis as a storage solution for configuration properties, instead of the default Git repository.

Disclaimer

The library is not yet released.

Usage

Java configuration

In order to use this library you need to replace usage of the traditional @CloudConfigServer with @CloudConfigServerRedis:

import com.github.gabrielruiu.spring.cloud.config.redis.EnableConfigServerRedis;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@EnableConfigServerRedis
@SpringBootApplication
public class CentralizedConfigServerApplication {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		SpringApplication.run(CentralizedConfigServerApplication.class, args);
	}
}

Property representation in Redis

In order for the Redis Config server to properly identify the properties within Redis, these need to have the following format:

application-name:profile:label:property-name

For example, we have the following keys in Redis:

127.0.0.1:6379> set my-app:default:master:url "http://my-app.com"
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> set my-app:h2-db:master:spring:datasource:name "my-app-database"
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> set my-app:h2-db:master:spring:datasource:password "1nuron13037"
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> set my-app:h2-db:master:url "http://dev.my-app.com"
OK

And we perform the following cURL on a locally running server instance:

curl -X GET "http://localhost:8080/my-app/h2-db"

which would return the following response:

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "profiles": [
    "h2-db"
  ],
  "label": "master",
  "version": null,
  "propertySources": [
    {
      "name": "my-app-h2-db",
      "source": {
        "spring.datasource.name": "my-app-database",
        "url": "http://dev.my-app.com",
        "spring.datasource.password": "1nuron13037"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "my-app",
      "source": {
        "url": "http://my-app.com"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Notes

• There is no support for versioned properties, and therefore, all responses returned by the Redis config server will contain a null version.
• There is no support for serving plain text files. See Cloud Config documentation for more info
• As can be seen in the example above, the property-sources are profile specific
