Application Configuration on AWS for Spring Boot-based applications
summary
Covers concrete integration patterns: use the AWS Java SDK or Spring Cloud for AWS to load config from Parameter Store secure strings or S3, and use AppConfig deployment strategies (example: 20% steps, 10 minute rollout, 5 minute bake time) with JSON-schema or Lambda validators and automatic rollback on CloudWatch alarms. Parameter Store standard tier is free; advanced supports expirations and EventBridge/SNS notifications to trigger Spring refresh. For rotating credentials use Secrets Manager rotation (built‑in lambdas for RDS or custom lambda), and Secrets Manager is charged.
