Spring I/O 2025 - 21-23 May, Barcelona Throughout history, the term “magic” has described things we don’t fully understand. But magic isn’t real - it’s just a gap in knowledge. So, when someone says, “Spring Boot is magic,” the IntelliJ IDEA team hears, “We should make the IDE reveal what’s really happening behind the scenes”. With the new Spring Debugger in IntelliJ IDEA, you’ll get simple, clear & actionable insights into questions such as: Where does a specific property value come from? Why does it hold an unexpected value? Is there an active transaction? Who started it, and when? What database is my application currently connected to? Can I get 1-click access to it? What bean implementations are being used and why? And many more… Join this talk to see how Spring Debugger helps you replace “magic” with understanding for your own Spring Boot applications —so you can diagnose and resolve issues faster than ever.
