I have some properties in my microservice. They are changed a lot so I want to store them somewhere out of microservice so that I don't have to undeploy it again and again. One solution is to store them in database but it will be less efficient that way. Can you advise me a solution where I can store them?

Basically this microservice is used by a vast number of people. I want that file to be read ONCE when microservice is deployed (unless or until there is some change in the file) to minimize the calls.

You should go with Centralized configuration, spring cloud supports config server, It is highly recommended for microservice architecture. For reference: https://spring.io/guides/gs/centralized-configuration/

Basically, you have a centralized place to store all the configurations and don't need the redeploy the application every time you change the configs.

NOTE: in case you change the db properties then probably you need the restart the service

You should use Spring Cloud Config which enables to use a centralized server which exposes a Git Repo which you can use to store environment specific configuration files (application.properties)
