Configuration

Each microservice on the platorm has its own config file. It resides in the root directory of the service. In different deployment systems (Docker Swarm/Kubernetes) it is mounted under some volume path. The default path of the configuration file is /run/secrets/microservice-name_config.json. To change the path set the SERVICE_CONFIG_FILE environment variable.

The format of the configuration file is JSON. It is easy to manage and extend the configuration.

Microkubes has its own package for managing the configuration files. It is able to load the remote and local config as well. It holds the full microservice configuration:

• Configuration for registering on the API Gateway
• Security configuration
• Database configuration
• API Gateway URL
• API Admin Gateway URL
• Container Manager

Note: You can add new properties to the configuration by extending it.
