Twelve Factor Apps: Spring Cloud Config

I have been using Spring for many years now and I really like the simplicity and non-invasive model of its features. As I have been implementing 12 Factor applications, I needed to start using a central way to configure the many microservices we are building. This is where Spring Cloud Config comes to the rescue.

Spring Boot and CloudFoundry

In this post, I'll discuss my experience with Spring-Boot, how its features are making my "rapid prototyping" abilities shine (making me look good) and combined with a nice PaaS such as CloudFoundry, you can finally see how a true "agile" practice can focus on "innovation".

I added most of a sample code for this in a github repo. Feel free to use it and ping me if you need help or have questions:
