- [Instructor] Spring profiles provide a way to segregate parts of your application configuration and make it available to only certain environments. We will learn how to define Spring profiles with properties files and enable them at runtime. So, I'd like to have a profile that uses H2 in memory database and another that interacts with MySQL. To do this with properties files, I created another file called application-mysql.properties in the resources folder, so this would be the profile called MySQL. And it contains the settings that are just for interacting with the MySQL database container. Back in application.properties, we need to set an active profile and so, the spring.profiles.active set to default means that whenever the application starts up, only these properties will be set.
