The document discusses the Spring framework's implementation of the Inversion of Control (IoC) design pattern. It describes how Spring uses bean definitions to define objects and their dependencies. The Spring IoC container uses this configuration metadata to create and manage beans. It creates bean objects from the configuration and handles injecting their dependencies. This allows for loosely coupled and testable application code.
17. IOC CONTAINER
▸ Objects define their dependencies but don’t control instantiation
▸ Instead of a client specifying which service it will use, something tells the client
what service to use.

20. CONTEXT
▸ Surrounding of bean creation and code execution
▸ Context creation phases:
▸ Gathering info about the beans
▸ Actual bean creation
▸ Populating the context

27. CONFIGURATION
27
▸ List of bean definition along with dependencies
▸ Types
▸ Xml
▸ Annotations
▸ Java Config
28. CONFIGURATION
▸ List of bean definition along with dependencies
▸ Types
▸ Xml
▸ Annotations
▸ Java Config
▸ Non-invasive
▸ Testable
▸ Ready-to-use state of beans

62. TAKEAWAYS
▸ You know dependency injection - constructors
▸ Spring is simple, additions are hard to understand
▸ Do you need full blown spring boot? Especially for serverless
▸ Make your domain framework agnostic.
