commercetools Connector Extend Configuration

Edited 21 days ago

The commercetools Connector features a highly adaptable runtime architecture governed by four baseline configuration files: `application-connector.yml`, `application.yml`, `bootstrap.yml`, and `logback-spring.xml`. Together, these files define core connector settings, server/container properties, and logging rules.To manage multi-environment rollouts efficiently, you can override common baseline settings by creating dedicated files that follow standard Spring Boot profile conventions (e.g., `application-dev.yml`) to isolate your development, staging, and production environments.
