In the realm of software development, achieving loose coupling and maintaining the independence of various components within a larger system is a critical objective. This is not only achieved through the modularization of code, but you also have to focus on effectively separating cross-cutting concerns and business logic. One promising approach to accomplish this and reduce the boilerplate around the business logic is through Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP).

In our session, we delve into the principles and practical implementation of AOP within the context of Java and Spring Boot. We not only explore the architectural background of AOP but also shed light on its advantages. Additionally we demonstrate general shortcomings of AOP in Java, when compared to other programming languages. During our session, we aim to provide the participants with a comprehensive understanding of when AOP is most appropriate and when it may not be the ideal solution for specific Scenarios.
