Until now, we looked at how to externalize application configuration to a property file, ;application.properties. What we want to be able to do is have different values for the same property in different environments.
Profiles provide a way to provide different configurations in different environments.

spring.profiles.active=dev
Once you have an active profile configured, you can define properties specific to that profile in application-{profile-name}.properties. For dev profile, the name of the properties file would be ;application-dev.properties. The following example shows the ;configuration in application-dev.properties:
application.enableSwitchForService1=true ...
