Utility

• Lombok

Lombok is a Java library that helps reduce boilerplate code by providing annotations to generate getter, setter, constructor, and other utility methods during compilation. This can lead to cleaner and more concise code.

It provides annotations which help reduce boilerplate code for getters, setters, equals, hashCode, , toString, constructors, builders, loggers, checked exceptions handling with @SneakyThrows, data validation with @NonNull to enforce non-null fields etc.
