Some developers say Spring Boot is magic—but it’s not. It’s a well-structured, ergonomic framework that takes care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters. But when things don’t behave as expected, understanding why can be a challenge.

That’s where the Spring Debugger in IntelliJ IDEA comes in.

With Spring Debugger, you get deep, real-time insights into your running application, right inside your IDE. No more digging through logs or guessing what's happening under the hood.

Find answers to questions like:
- Where does this property value come from? Is it overridden somewhere?
- Why is this bean being injected, and which candidate was chosen?
- Is there an active transaction? Who started it?
- Which database is my app connected to? Can I explore it with one click?
- How was this value resolved from profiles, config files, or environment variables?

All the context you need is right there, connected to your code, easy to follow, and just a click away.

You will learn how the Spring debugging support in IntelliJ IDEA helps to gain clarity, troubleshoot issues faster, and turn Spring Boot’s inner workings into an open book.
