The error message is pretty self explanatory: the user "my_app" does not have teh right credentials to log into the database.

Either the user name is wrong, the password is wrong, or both - or the user does not have access rights for the specific database you are trying to connect to.
Check the username and password you are sending as part of your connections string, and verify them with SQL Server via SSMS.
