                  "name": "Spring Boot-DemoApplication<demo> (8002)",// microservice to run in port 8002
                  "request": "launch",
                  "mainClass": "com.example.demo.DemoApplication",
                  "projectName": "demo",
                  "vmArgs": "-Dserver.port=8002"// defining the port
              },

                  "type": "java",
                  "name": "Spring Boot-DemoApplication<demo> (8001)",// microservice to run in port 8001
                  "request": "launch",
                  "mainClass": "com.example.demo.DemoApplication",
                  "projectName": "demo",
                  "vmArgs": "-Dserver.port=8001"//definig the port
