IntelliJ IDEA remains the preferred IDE of choice for JVM application developers, offering rich tooling and deep framework integration. The powerful combination of Spring Boot and IntelliJ IDEA can significantly improve developer productivity and reduce development friction.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to build Spring Boot applications by leveraging IntelliJ IDEA’s capabilities.
Through practical examples and guided exercises, we’ll explore:
- Streamlined local development using Testcontainers and Docker Compose
- Building robust, data-centric applications with Spring Data
- Managing database schema changes using Flyway and Liquibase
- Designing maintainable architectures with Spring Modulith for modular monoliths
- Advanced debugging techniques with Spring Debugger
By the end of the session, attendees will be able to incorporate these productivity tips into their day-to-day work and experience the improved developer productivity.
