I have just asked the Spring Cloud guys and thought I should share the info I have here.

bootstrap.yml is loaded before application.yml.

It is typically used for the following:

  • when using Spring Cloud Config Server, you should specify spring.application.name and spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri inside bootstrap.yml

  • some encryption/decryption information

Technically, bootstrap.yml is loaded by a parent Spring ApplicationContext. That parent ApplicationContext is loaded before the one that uses application.yml.
