๐Ÿš€ Run your app in debug mode, and instantly see which beans are loaded โ€” right in the Project view. Spring Debugger even recognizes mocked beans, making tests easier to reason about.

๐Ÿง  Paused at a breakpoint? You can inspect bean definitions directly in the debugger โ€” or even invoke Spring beans straight from the evaluator. Yes, live!

๐Ÿ”Ž Need to verify a property value? See the effective value in context โ€” in your code, in the debugger, or in the evaluator. Navigate directly to the source, even if itโ€™s profile-specific or overridden.

๐Ÿ’ก Didnโ€™t add your data source manually? No problem. Spring Debugger detects active database connections โ€” including Testcontainers and @mongodb โ€” and displays them in the Database tool window.

๐Ÿ”„ Track transactions in real time. See active transactions, navigate to their origin, and inspect L1 cache and entity states. This means thereโ€™s no more guessing when dealing with detached entities or LazyInitExceptions.

โœจ Itโ€™s completely non-invasive. No Java agents. No extra starters. You donโ€™t even need Spring Actuator. Just debug your app โ€” and @intellijidea will handle the rest.
