How to Disable Spring Cloud Config Server in Spring Boot 2.0.0 for Local Development

In a microservices architecture, Spring Cloud Config plays an essential role by managing application configuration across multiple services. However, there are times during local development when you need to temporarily disable the Spring Cloud Config Server. This is particularly true if you're using Spring Boot version 2.0.0 and want your microservices to utilize the application-local.yml settings effectively. In this guide, we'll discuss the problem of disabling the config server and present a clear solution that you can implement right away.

The Challenge

For one of our clients using Spring Boot 2.0.0, the requirement was to avoid deploying the Spring Cloud Config Server while working on local development environments. The intent was to enable other Spring Boot microservices to fetch their configurations directly from the application-local.yml file, allowing for a smoother and faster development process.

Some attempts to disable the config server include:

Setting spring.cloud.config.enabled=false in the bootstrap.yml file.

Adding -Dspring.profiles.active="local" to the configuration.

Unfortunately, despite trying these methods, the microservices still continued to seek the config server for configurations. This led to the need for a more definitive approach to achieve the desired setup.

Solution Overview

Here's a comprehensive solution that effectively disables the Spring Cloud Config Server under the specified circumstances. By following these steps, you can configure your application to not look for the config server during local development.

Configuration Steps

You can utilize the following YAML configuration to easily turn off the Spring Cloud Config Server and the Eureka client. This ensures that your microservices do not attempt to connect to the config server while running locally.

Open your bootstrap.yml file.

Add the following configurations:

Explanation of Configurations

spring.cloud.config.enabled: false: This setting explicitly disables the Spring Cloud Config Server, ensuring that your application will not attempt to reach out to any config server for configuration data.

spring.cloud.config.discovery.enabled: false: This prevents the application from trying to discover a Config Server via a service registry, such as Eureka.

eureka.client.enabled: false: Although you're using Eureka, this line disables the Eureka client component during local development, preventing any service registry calls for service discovery.

Wrap-Up

By following these straightforward configurations, you can successfully disable the Spring Cloud Config Server for local development in your Spring Boot 2.0.0 application. This not only streamlines your development process by allowing the usage of local configuration files but also enhances your workflow by reducing unnecessary service calls.
