An Intro to Spring Cloud Vault

Date: 2021-01-04

This tutorial demonstrates integrating HashiCorp Vault with a Spring Boot application to securely store secrets. It uses Docker to set up a Vault server and guides you through creating secrets within Vault's UI. The Spring Boot application is configured to retrieve these secrets (database credentials, in this example) at startup using Spring Cloud Vault Config. The tutorial covers setting up the project with Maven, creating necessary configuration files (.yml), and implementing a simple application that interacts with a database. The application's endpoints are then tested using Postman.
