Connect an Azure Database for MySQL instance to your application in Azure Spring Apps

1. In your project's pom.xml file, add the following dependency:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
       <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
       <artifactId>spring-cloud-azure-starter-jdbc-mysql</artifactId>
   </dependency>
   

2. In the application.properties file, remove any spring.datasource.* properties.

3. Update the current app by running az spring app deploy, or create a new deployment for this change by running az spring app deployment create.

Connect your app to the Azure Database for MySQL instance

The following Terraform script shows how to set up an Azure Spring Apps app with Azure Database for MySQL.
