Our Spring Java application should use Azure App Configuration service to manage feature flags.
The problem is that there is no way to run App Configuration service locally through Docker like other feature flags manager products. There is an option the Java Azure SDK to use local configuration but it is not clear how I can mix it with server configuration. What I would like to have something like this:
1. Spring local/test profile to use file configuration. Developer to control everything.
2. Any other profiles to use remote Azure App Configuration service.
When I add spring-cloud-azure-appconfiguration-config-web dependency Java application start trying to connect to the server and the file configuration is ignored.
<!-- Global: take feature flags form the server -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-azure-appconfiguration-config-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- Local -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-azure-feature-management-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
</dependency>
Obviously there is not meant to work together without any additional configuration.
Could you tell me please is it possible such kind of configuration? Is there some magic properties that I can use? May be there is another way to organise local and qas/prod environments. Please advice.
