MongoDB Connection for Spring Boot Application on Heroku

What is the best way to configure a Spring Boot application to connect to MongoDB on Heroku? I got it working specifying spring.data.mongodb.uri in the application.properties file, but I would like to set the connection up, so that I can keep the application pointing to my local MongoDB during development, while being able to push to Heroku without reconfiguring the connection URI each time.

Thanks, Jerry

You could use profile-specific configuration to specify the URIs to use during development and when deploying to Heroku. A file named application-{profile}.properties will only be loaded when the matching profile is active, i.e. you could use a file named application-heroku.properties and enable the heroku profile when deploying to Heroku. Any profile-specific configuration will override the default configuration in application.properties. You can enable a profile using spring.profiles.active, for example:

java -jar your-app.jar --spring.profiles.active=heroku
