-Instead of the DB_CONN_STR, DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD, you need to add the values for the Couchbase connection.
+The application uses environment variables for database configuration. You can set these in your system environment or create a `.env` file in the project root:
 
-> Note: The connection string expects the `couchbases://` or `couchbase://` part.
+```env
+DB_CONN_STR=couchbases://your-cluster.cloud.couchbase.com
+DB_USERNAME=your-username
+DB_PASSWORD=your-password
+```
 
-You can also use your system environment variables to set the properties. The properties are read from the environment variables if they are set. The properties are read from the `application.properties` file if the environment variables are not set.
+> Note: The connection string expects the `couchbases://` or `couchbase://` part.
 
 ## Running The Application
 
-You can add environment variables DB_CONN_STR, DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD to your system environment variables or you can update the `application.properties` file in the `src/main/resources` folder.
+The application will automatically load environment variables from a `.env` file if present, or use system environment variables.
