Java: Application Properties

Spring Profiles allow switching configurations based on the active environment.

Spring Profiles enable applications to use different configurations for different environments, such as development and production. This is done by specifying profile-specific property files like application-dev.properties or application-prod.properties. When a profile is active, Spring Boot uses the corresponding properties, reducing the risk of deploying incorrect configurations. For example, you might use a different database for local development than in production, which is seamlessly handled by switching profiles.
