Core Idea

When working with Performance Monitoring with Spring AOP, focus on:

• The problem it solves.
• The Spring abstraction or annotation involved.
• The lifecycle or request flow.
• The production trade-offs.
• How to test and debug it.

Practical Checklist

• Identify where this feature is configured.
• Understand the default behavior before overriding it.
• Keep configuration explicit when behavior affects production.
• Add tests for important business paths.
• Document assumptions for future maintainers.

Interview Checkpoints

• Explain the concept in simple terms.
• Describe where it appears in a Spring Boot project.
• Name one common mistake.
• Explain how you would test or troubleshoot it.
