What are the best practices for configuring Micronaut applications?

Some best practices include using environment variables for sensitive data, leveraging configuration files, and keeping configurations modular.

Can you explain how to use environment variables effectively?

Certainly! Use environment variables to store sensitive information like API keys. You can access them in Micronaut using the @Value annotation.

What about using configuration files?

Configuration files allow you to define settings in a structured way. You can use YAML or properties files, and Micronaut will automatically load them.

How can I manage different configurations for different environments?

You can create separate configuration files for each environment, like application-dev.yml and application-prod.yml, and Micronaut will pick the right one based on the active profile.

Are there any tools to help with Micronaut configuration?

Yes, tools like Micronaut Launch can help you generate projects with the right configurations, and Micronaut's CLI can assist in managing them.
