Hello,

Got to know the below points.

Currently, DATABASE_URL (or any other database bind variables) is not available during build. We plan on supporting build time access to databases soon though we don’t have any ETA. I apologize for the inconvenience caused!

Please change the scope of the Database variables to

databases:
- engine: PG
name: db
num_nodes: 1
size: db-s-dev-database
version: "12"
name: portal
region: nyc
services:
- dockerfile_path: Dockerfile
envs:
- key: DATABASE_URL
scope: RUN_TIME
value: ${db.JDBC_DATABASE_URL}
- key: DATABASE_USERNAME
scope: RUN_TIME
value: ${db.USERNAME}
- key: DATABASE_PASSWORD
scope: RUN_TIME
value: ${db.PASSWORD}

This should work! Hope this helps!

Cheers, Sri Charan
